Japanese scientists have developed a vaccine to target so-called zombie cells that pile up over time and damage healthy cells. These cells are thought to be responsible for a range of age-related ailments, such as heart disease.

Work for the James Webb Space Telescope is just beginning after was successfully deployed on Jan. 8.

Affectionately known as 'our eye on the Universe', the Hubble Space Telescope was launched on April 24, 1990, via the space shuttle Discovery from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

Just two weeks after launching from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft has opened its "eye" and returned its first images from spacea major operational milestone for the spacecraft and DART team.

The observatory's trouble-free Christmas Day launch and two early course corrections could push its operational life well past the 10-year mark, the agency said.

What's the massive observatory doing now? Here's how to find out.

It was a moment so highly anticipated and so long-delayed that it seemed surreal: NASA's James Webb Space Telescope finally got off the ground.

Scientists propose so-called land planets have a better chance at sustaining alien life than Earth-like water worlds.

This recent finding signified that the Red Planet could contain deeper water stores covered by dust.
