An infamous asteroid known as 2024 YR4 won't be crashing into Earth, but the James Webb Space Telescope recently went to get a look at it anyway.

A future Moon base is closer to reality than ever before. With missions like Artemis 3 planned for 2026 and a lunar outpost on the horizon, one challenge stands in the way: energy. Getting enough power to support human life on the Moon isn’t just a matter of plugging in solar panels.

NASA said that an asteroid previously believed to be destined for Earth is now more likely to make impact with the moon.

The strategic advantages of the moon and cis-lunar space (the space between the Earth and moon) identified by NASA, the private sector, and U.S. military strategists are just as visible to Beijing—control of Earth's highest "high ground," and prime positioning for getting to Mars.

Scientists have created solar cells using simulated Moon dust, potentially solving one of space exploration's biggest challenges: how to generate reliable energy far from Earth. These new cells, made with perovskite and moonglass,

The shielding technology was tested in vacuum chambers, where it was used to remove lunar dust samples brought home by NASA's Apollo missions. The first time EDS was tested in space was on the International Space Station, during the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE)-11 mission in 2019.

The next astronauts to fly to the moon now have a mission patch to represent their journey. NASA debuted the official Artemis 2 insignia, its first emblem for a moon-bound crew in more than 50 years.

Californians can glimpse up to 15 meteors each hour under cloudless skies while the Lyrid meteor shower is underway. The meteors can appear anywhere in the night sky, with some leaving vivid trails in their wake, NASA said. April is the best month to witness a globular cluster of stars known as “M3” in 2025, according to NASA.

An enigmatic Japanese billionaire picked 10 artists to fly to the moon, only to pull the plug. Now they’re figuring out what’s next.

The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. In a study published in Device, researchers created solar cells made out of simulated moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently,
