A cosmic coincidence has led to one of the most amazing images ever captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

NASA websites no longer state that the Artemis 3 mission will aim to land the first person of color and the first woman on the moon, but the agency says this does not reflect a change in crew.

SpaceX plans to make spaceflight history this month, by launching the first crewed mission to explore Earth's polar regions.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a star and a spiral galaxy, both in the constellation Virgo. But the photo is an optical illusion.

Astronomers have tracked several meteorites that dropped in on Earth back to their origin, space rocks in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

The spacesuit worn by the first Briton in space, the Soyuz that brought the first UK astronaut back to Earth and the only Apollo capsule to be on display outside the U.S. will soon be on the move.

The stellar nursery mirrors conditions of the early universe, scientists say.

A pod of bottlenose dolphins seemingly took interest in the capsule that dropped out of the sky, circling and surfacing as SpaceX team members worked to recover their spacecraft.

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor and thick clouds on LTT 9779 b, an ultra-hot Neptune locked in a blistering 19-hour orbit.
