CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — New Mars discoveries are advancing the case for possible life on the red planet, past or even present.

NASA is expected to unveil a monumental Mars Curiosity Rover discovery this afternoon and the world's scientific community is on edge. But what time will the US space agency's press announcement be held today? The exact details of the conference are under embargo but many speculate the rover may

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has apparently found something intriguing on Mars and the space agency will unveil the discovery to the public in a live webcast Thursday (June 7).

A newly selected NASA mission should help scientists better understand the bubble that surrounds the solar system, agency officials said.

The first independent tests of the EmDrive suggest there's a mundane explanation for the wildly controversial device.

TESS, NASA's next-generation planet hunter, snapped a picture of the stars as it swung within 5,000 miles of the moon on Thursday.

When Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX were looking to make their Falcon 9 rocket even more powerful, they came up with a creative idea — keep the propellant at super-cold temperatures to shrink its size, allowing them to pack more of it into the tan

After reaching its orbit in about two months, the telescope will start scanning nearby stars telltale dips in light that signal a passing planet.

SpaceX postponed the launch of NASA's new planet-hunting mission Monday in order to verify the Falcon 9 rocket's navigation systems, the California-based company said.

NASA wants to fly you to the moon in 4K. The space agency just released a new video showing off high-resolution imagery gathered by its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, tasked with exploring the moon from above. The five-minute video shows off various sites

"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible," said sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke. A one-way trip to Mars using conventional chemical rockets could take up to nine months. It's...

The launch of NASA's next great space observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope, to no earlier than May 2020, nearly a year later than previously planned, the space agency announced Tuesday (March 27).

A rocket carrying two American astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut to the International Space Station has blasted off successfully from a launch facility in Kazakhstan.

NASA has relaxed its policies against the use of radioisotope thermoelectric generators for future space missions. Now, scientists may be able to submit proposals to the Discovery program, even if they involve using plutonium-238.

The James Webb Space Telescope, currently slated for launch in 2019, is facing technical difficulties and budget overruns that might push back its launch date

The Trump administration's budget request for fiscal year 2019 calls for work on a major NASA space observatory and five Earth-science missions to be canceled. NASA's Office of Education would also be terminated.

NASA is hoping they won't have to rely on solar power when they send a manned mission to Mars. The Kilopower project is a small nuclear reactor that could be loaded onto a spacecraft and sent to the red planet.

NASA (National Space and Aeronautics Administration) has detected an artificial barrier a protective belt, as it were encircling the Earth in a defensive shield, scientists say. The ...

NASA has new evidence that the most likely places to find life beyond Earth are Jupiter's moon Europa or Saturn's moon Enceladus. In terms of potential habitability, Enceladus particularly has almost all of the key ingredients for life as we know

There might be alien life in our own solar system, Nasa has announced. All of the necessary things to support life have been found on another icy world inside our own neighbourhood.
