NASA has launched into space FASTSAT (Affordable, Science and Technology Satellite), the first of its low-cost microsatellites that will orbit the Earth, offering new opportunities for science and technology research.
The US probe EPOXI is preparing to meet Comet Hartley 2 today, NASA has announced. It will be the fifth time in history that a spacecraft gets close enough to a comet to image its nucleus.
The lunar soil contains frozen water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, silver, mercury ... according to a NASA study published today in the journal Science and carried out from the remains studied by the LCROSS probe.
NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) has captured for the first time the transit of the Moon in front of the Sun from a probe in space. The image, obtained 36,000 kilometers from Earth, shows a spectacular "partial eclipse of the Sun".
New supercomputer simulations developed by NASA and based on monitoring the interactions of thousands of dust grains show what the solar system would look like to hypothetical alien astronomers searching for planets.
Beyond Neptune's orbit reside countless ice rocks known as trans-Neptunian objects (OTNs), mostly difficult to detect. Using clever techniques to sift through the Hubble Space Telescope data files, a team of astronomers just added 14 new OTNs to the catalog.
