Pioneering research has found a way to turn back clock on frailty and ill-health by putting humans in chambers with pure oxygen

The space agency used the upgraded Deep Space Station 43.

The rapid recovery and analysis of a meteorite that fell onto a frozen lake in Michigan two years ago is illuminating the pivotal role these rocks played in delivering the basic building blocks for life to Earth.

A new study estimates that if most Americans wore masks in public, more than 100,000 lives could be saved from COVID-19 between now and the end of February.

Aerosol microdroplets do not appear to be extremely efficient at spreading the virus that leads to COVID-19. While the lingering microdroplets are certainly not risk-free, due to their small size they contain less virus than the larger droplets that are p

TESS, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, was launched in 2018 with the goal of discovering small planets around the Sun's nearest neighbors, stars bright enough to allow for follow-up characterizations of their planets' masses and atmosphe

There really is water on the Moon — and it might be much more widespread than previously suspected.

New research provides the best evidence to date of water ice on the Moon and suggests this valuable resource is scattered widely across the lunar surface.

NASA will fund a project by Nokia to build a 4G cellular communication network on the moon with $14.1 million, the space agency announced Wednesday.

Earth is not necessarily the best planet in the universe. Researchers have identified two dozen planets outside our solar system that may have conditions more suitable for life than our own. Some of these orbit stars that may be better than even our sun.

After the observation of phosphine gas on Venus, which may be a sign of life there, a new search through old data has found hints of the gas and more

The CDC released a report describing a "multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults" or (MIS-A), months after a similar condition was reported in children.

The discovery of phosphine in Venus' atmosphere has generated a lot of interest. It has the potential to be a biosignature, though since the discovery, some researchers have thrown cold water on that idea. But it looks, at least, like the discovery is

Can a small American aerospace company get to Venus before NASA returns to our superheated planetary neighbor?

China's lunar lander measured radiation at the moon's surface, finding the daily dose is 2.6 times as high as inside the International Space Station.

Microbes unlike any life on Earth could be thriving high in the clouds of Venus, according to a new discovery by astronomers.

ELON Musk has a timeline of when he hopes to send humans to Mars. The ultimate goal is for his SpaceX company to put a person on the Red Planet by 2024 and build a self-sustaining city by 2050. SpaceX recently completed its second 'hop' test for i
