Three Russian cosmonauts touched down Thursday on the steppe of Kazakhstan following a six-month mission on the International Space Station (ISS), Russia's space agency Roscosmos said.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission to deflect the asteroid Dimorphos could help the world prepare for a possible asteroid Armageddon similar to the one that caused the dinosaurs to go extinct. Dimorphos orbits a larger 780-metre asteroid called Didymos. Unlike the 10-kilometre diameter dinosaur-killing asteroid that hit Earth, b...

A new baby island has been spotted in the southwest Pacific Ocean hours after an underwater volcano erupted not far from Australia.

A NASA spacecraft successfully crashed into an asteroid approximately 6.8 million miles (10.9 million kilometers) from Earth in a test to determine if the impact can nudge the space rock slightly off course.

NASA on Monday successfully crashed into an asteroid in the world's first test of a planetary defense system, as the US space agency continues to work on technology to prevent potential meteorite collisions with Earth, that could threaten life on the planet. The DART spacecraft was launched by a SpaceX rocket in November 2021, and made most of its ...

NASA's DART mission to test deflecting an asteroid using "kinetic impact" with a spaceship is just one way to defend planet Earth from an approaching object -- and for now, the only method possible with current technology.

Jupiter comes closest to Earth today, in an extremely rare occurrence, in almost 60 years. The next time the planet comes this close to the Earth will be 107 years from now in 2129.

NASA's DART mission will give a chance to NASA scientists to plan how to protect Earth from potential impacts.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, will attempt to alter the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos, on September 26. The US space agency is set to create history when it crashes a spacecraft into the asteroid, attempting to deflect it from its trajectory. A tiny moon of the asteroid Didymos, the asteroid Dimorphos is an ideal target for NA...

The search for alien life just got more interesting as a team of scientists recently discovered new evidence suggesting that Saturn's moon Enceladus has oceans that have all the basic requirements and materials needed for life to survive.

Have you ever wondered exactly how many ants live on Earth? Possibly not, but its certainly a question weve asked ourselves.

The coming week could be a treat for stargazers as Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth in 59 years. Jupiter, which is approximately 600 million miles from Earth at its farthest point, will come as near as 367 million miles.

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft crash into asteroid Dimorphos at 24,000 kilometres per hour on September 26. Launched from Earth in November 2021, DART is about the size of a bus and was created to test and prove our ability to defend the Earth from a dangerous asteroid.

A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...

In what could be a treat for stargazers, Jupiter will be making its closest approach to Earth in 59 years. People will be able to see great views of the gas giant for the entire night of September 26, NASA said.
