On its way to the moon, the design for an exercise device took to the skies above Montreal for a parabolic flight. The July series of experiments evaluated health tech for astronauts, too.

A chemical mystery lurks in the laboratory of Tycho Brahe, one of the most famous astronomers of all time. Scientists found tungsten in Brahe's lab, and they're not sure how it got there.

Boeing Starliner's historic 1st astronaut mission has been extended repeatedly for thruster troubleshooting. But its two astronauts are not stuck on the ISS.

Earth was cooler than usual in the 16th and 17th centuries and scientists are still trying to figure out why. New analysis of sunspot drawings by Kepler, in 1607, may shed some light.
