Years of computer simulations. Countless ground tests. They've all led up to now. The Planetary Society's crowdfunded LightSail 2 spacecraft is successfully raising its orbit solely on the power of sunlight. Since unfurling the spacecraft's silver solar sail last ...
NASA has selected SpaceX to spearhead the development of an orbital refueling technology that will be used in future space missions including expeditions to the Moon and Mars. SpaceX's new project is among the 19 new industry partnerships that NASA ...

A team of researchers reported that Earth recently got hit by the highest level of gamma rays ever recorded. According to their findings, the gamma particles originated from a supernova remnant known as the Crab Nebula. The Crab Nebula is located within ...
A study conducted by the University of Wisconsin has used helium to help mimick solar winds in the lab. Affecting nearly everything in the solar system, the sun's solar winds can disrupt the function of the Earth's satellites. For the study, the researchers used a ...
Scientists have a new theory on Mars and the huge crater on the Red Planet. A closer look at this crater has scientists saying that Mars used to have a massive ocean on its northern hemisphere and an asteroid impact managed to create a planet-sized ...
It's not hard to find dying glaciers. In any glaciated country there is a spot to see receding glaciers, said Mauri Pelto, a glaciologist at Nichols College. The diminishing rivers of ice are perhaps the most visible consequence of the planet's accelerating climate ...
Volcano eruption recognition and the place where it erupts. The volcano darts magma right from the apex. But it is not so atypical that magma explodes from the volcano's flank instead of its crest. After abandoning the underground magma chamber, the ...
