On Wednesday, August 30th, we’ll have our second full moon of the month! This occurrence is known as a “blue moon,” and just as the saying goes, it doesn’t happen often.

What makes this blue moon even more special is that it also coincides with a supermoon creating a rare event that won’t happen again until 2037. Here’s what time the rare blue supermoon occurs in different areas of the world…

In a watershed moment for India’s space program, on Wednesday, the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully touched down at the unexplored lunar south pole. This is the first time any country has visited this area of the Moon.

Update: The Pragyan rover has rolled off the Vikram lander. Due to the amount of dust kicked up upon the touchdown of the Vikram lander, the rollout of the rover was delayed.

Fresh off the back of a detailed capture earlier this month, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has released yet two more images of the famous Ring Nebula. Each reveals surprising new details about the intricate structures of the final stages of the dying star. Let’s take a look…

The Hubble space telescope stuns–and spooks–in its latest image of a pale ‘ghostly’ galaxy in the deep reaches of space. Captured with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys from over 44 million light-years away.

Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York have officially confirmed that July 2023 held the hottest global temperature ever in recorded history.

It’s quite obvious at this point that we’re feeling the effects of climate change, but what specifically contributed the most to July’s unprecedented heatwave?

A spectacular display of shooting stars is set to grace the night sky on Sunday, August 13, as the Perseid meteor shower makes its annual debut. Here’s when, where, and everything to know…

Thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have begun studying and measuring the most distant star ever detected, with the most powerful telescope ever built.

A potentially Earth-threatening space rock has been detected by a new artificial intelligence algorithm programmed to find asteroids that come dangerously close to our planet.

An image of a cosmic question mark is making its rounds on social media. It appears to have originated from a new observation by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. And no, it’s not aliens asking how we’re doing.

So, what could it be? Read on..

The Ring Nebula is one of the night sky’s most well-known and studied planetary nebulae. Original images from Hubble captured the dying star from the first nearly a decade ago. Now, a new image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the famous nebula in detail you’ve never seen before…

NASA says it has detected a “heartbeat signal” from Voyager 2 after a wrong command caused the spacecraft to turn its antenna 2 degrees away from the direction of Earth.

Next month is starting out with a bang! This year August will feature two supermoons, one of which will be the largest and brightest of the year. Here’s what to know…

Perseverance rover is back at it with an image of a rock formation that’s getting the Internet talking. On Friday (June 23), the NASA rover captured a photo of a dark rocky object that, oddly enough, resembles a doughnut…

To further fuel the hot subject of aliens this week, scientists have detected the presence of phosphorus in the vast subsurface ocean of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus. A discovery that provides further evidence of the moon’s potential to support life.

In an exciting new discovery, NASA’s Perseverance rover has found what appears to be the remains of an ancient riverbed on Mars. Based on evidence seen in the new images, the river could be the deepest and fastest-flowing scientists have seen yet, claims NASA.

China has announced bold plans for a manned lunar base tucked away in a permanently shadowed area on the Moon, which local media says will begin construction as soon as this decade.

European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft successfully launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana this month. It’s the latest collaboration between ESA, NASA, and other international partners to study Jupiter’s icy moons and determine their potential habitability. Here’s a quick rundown:

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Hope spacecraft has gone where no probe has been before. Newly released data and images by the Emirates Mars Mission team on Monday revealed a new side of Mars’ smaller moon, Deimos, and evidence of its mysterious origin.

NASA has issued a warning regarding a satellite expected to deorbit on April 19, posing a potential risk of harm on Earth. Here’s what we know.

Update: NASA’s retired RHESSI re-entered Earth’s atmosphere at 8:21 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 19, over the Sahara Desert. The agency has received no reports of damage or injury.

Reports claiming the satellite was seen as a bright flash over Kyiv, Ukraine, are false.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which has nothing to do with dinosaurs, successfully snagged chucks from the rocky surface of asteroid Bennu in 2020. It has since been en route back to Earth and is set to return on September 24.

NASA’s Curiosity rover may have just uncovered the strangest rock formation yet. On Sol 3786 (ironically April 1, 2023), the rover captured bizarre-looking images of what closely resembles dragon bones. And it doesn’t appear to be a joke…
