After a yearslong series of setbacks, NASA’s Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers, or ESCAPADE, mission has finally begun its roundabout journey to Mars. Launched on Nov. 13, 2025, aboard Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket,

The Van Allen probe, which studied how the Earth is protected from harmful space radiation, could fall to Earth tonight. Here’s what to know

NASA issued a welcomed all-clear Thursday, saying there’s now zero chance that asteroid 2024 YR will crash into the moon in 2032.

The way this document is written suggests that when NASA scores bidders for the Mars Telecommunications Network, the addition of a camera or other scientific payloads won’t be a net positive. However, if they pose an overall risk to the mission, they would be a net negative.

For a while, NASA's future looked to be on shaky ground, but this new proposal seems like a fresh vote of confidence.

NASA confirms that asteroid 2026 CC3, about the size of a bus, will make a close flyby of Earth on March 11, 2026, at a distance roughly four times that of the Moon’s orbit. Is this asteroid a "danger" to Earth?

An asteroid, previously used by NASA for a planetary defense test, has been successfully shifted onto a slightly altered path around the sun, scientists reported on Friday. This landmark achievement could pave the way for diverting potentially hazardous ...

Asteroids with tiny moons may be quietly trading material across space. Images from NASA’s DART mission revealed faint streaks on the moon Dimorphos—evidence of slow “cosmic snowballs” drifting from its parent asteroid,

What turns an oddly patterned Martian rock into one of the most watched clues in planetary science? For NASA’s Perseverance rover, the answer lies in a place chosen for its ancient promise. Jezero Crater was selected because orbital views had already revealed channels and a fan-shaped delta,
