The new "selfie" image of the Orion spacecraft's hardware and Earth's partially illuminated disk come from more than nine hours into the Artemis 1 flight. At the time, the capsule was more than 57,000 miles (92,000 kilometers) from Earth, about one-fifth of the distance to the moon, and traveling at nearly 5,500 mph (8,800 kph).
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy is no longer the most powerful rocket in the world. NASA's Space Launch System claimed the crown with its debut liftoff on Wednesday morning , which sent an uncrewed Orion capsule toward the moon on the agency's Artemis 1 mission.
NASA's first mission of its new human moon program has a boatload of strange and intriguing passengers on board, which will conduct a wide range of interesting science work.
After taking a few hits, NASA's newest space telescope will adjust its observation strategy to avoid its mirror being struck by tiny space rocks. JWST planners knew to expect micrometeoroid impacts, but an impact in late May left more damage than the models predicted.
A lot of devices labelled as night vision binoculars are really not binoculars at all. Here's our picks for the best night vision binoculars, monoculars and goggles to see with once the sun goes down.
The newest space telescope on the block has spotted a blazing cosmic hourglass filled with vibrant colors and hiding a fledgling star, or protostar, at its heart.
Mars and Earth seem to have similar cloud patterns, hinting that the features may form in much the same way. The observations, obtained by the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft and NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, were unexpected. Here's why.
So far, the wireless transmission system has only bridged the distance of a little over 100 feet (30 meters), but engineers are confident they can increase its range to reach all the way to space within the next decade.
