Four astronauts are back on Earth after a space station mission that lasted almost eight months.

NASA is no stranger to spacefaring robots. But “Robonaut 2,” the first human-shaped robot to fly to the International Space Station, is something special. The robot is now on display at the Udvar-Hazy center in Virginia.

The sun’s 11-year solar cycle has officially reached its “maximum phase,” according to a press release from multiple federal agencies.

Italian luxury fashion house Prada and space startup company Axiom Space unveiled the designs for a spacesuit that will be worn in the first NASA landing mission to the moon since 1972.

Two Oort Cloud comets are making a pass through the solar system for the first time in documented human history.

Prada and Houston-based startup Axiom Space unveiled the design of a spacesuit that will be used for NASA’s Artemis 3 mission to the moon.

NASA launched its Europa Clipper on Monday from a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in Florida. The mission will explore Jupiter’s icy moon called Europa.

NASA’s Europa Clipper probe will study Jupiter’s moon Europa, which is thought to have an underground ocean and a potentially habitable environment.

Chicago’s night sky was painted with brilliant shades of green, pink, and purple as the northern lights made a rare appearance.

SpaceX has launched a rescue mission for the two stuck astronauts at the International Space Station. A Falcon rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Saturday, sending up a downsized crew and two empty seats.

The Chicago area was treated to a partial lunar eclipse on Tuesday, and while it coincided with a supermoon, the next eclipse in the area could be even more spectacular.

The two American astronauts stuck on the International Space Station through February will still be able to cast their ballots while in orbit.

Tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman along with a pair of SpaceX engineers and a former Air Force Thunderbirds pilot, aim to reach new heights during their five-day trip, higher than the International Space Station

A partial lunar eclipse will be visible in the skies over the United States next week, and it will coincide with one of this year’s “supermoons,” according to NASA officials.

Boeing’s first astronaut mission ended Friday night with an empty capsule landing and two test pilots still in space, left behind until next year because NASA judged their return too risky.

NASA says a small, harmless asteroid has burned up in Earth’s atmosphere. The asteroid dubbed 2024 RW1 was spotted by astronomers in Arizona on Wednesday and disintegrated several hours later over the coast of the Philippines.

A partial lunar eclipse will take place later this month, and it will coincide with one of this year’s “supermoons,” according to NASA officials.

NASA has cut two astronauts from the next crew to make room on the return trip for the two stuck at the International Space Station.

The two astronauts who will spend extra months at the International Space Station have both flown long space missions before.

NASA has decided it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule. They’ll have to wait until February for a ride home with SpaceX.
