Japan's space agency on Monday postponed for the third time the launch of its "Moon Sniper" lunar mission due to poor weather. The H2-A rocket due to blast off from the southern island of Tanegashima was also carrying a research satellite developed with NASA and the European Space Agency.

As 1.4 billion Indians follow with bated breath Chandrayaan 3's descent on the Moon's surface, two international space agencies will provide support to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in tracking the spacecraft as it inches towards hist

R136a1, a massive star with a mass around 150 or 200 times the Sun, has been observed in great detail, along with other stars in the cluster. The images from Gemini South's Zorro instrument have provided scientists with the clearest images of the star so far, which suggest it may not be as massive as previously thought.

A recent research conducted by the European Space Agency (ESA) has claimed that the Sun has reached its middle age, estimated at 4.57 billion years.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are conducting biology experiments aimed at studying how skin heals in space. The study could benefit both astronauts in space, and human life on Earth. The US space agency's Expedition 67 mission began in March this year and is aimed at conducting research and investigations that will facilitate h...

Space debris has been known to cause injury and damage to property, even though no one is known to have died from an accident involving “space junk”. However, with the increasing number of satellites, rockets and probes being launched into space, researchers have investigated the risk of someone being killed by space debris. Here’s what they ...

NASA's DART mission could completely deform the target asteroid upon impact, according to a new study. Based on direct evidence from space missions like the Japanese space agency's Hayabusa2 probe that shows an asteroid can have a very loose internal structure, researchers have performed new simulations on the ambitious mission to collide with an a...

The European Space Agency (ESA) said on Wednesday that it expects strong support from its US counterpart NASA after the European agency's plans to cooperate with Russia on a Mars research mission were suspended due to the Ukraine war.

Scientists have captured intricate details of cosmic dust and clouds in space, including the Andromeda galaxy (M31), Triangulum galaxy (M33), and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. In order to create images of the cosmic dust and clouds, researchers have relied on data from various retired missions such as the using the European Space Agency (E...

The sunset on May 13 was the last one Antarctica will see in the next four months. The ESA said this is a very exciting time for its researchers.

A recent research based on Hubble Space Telescope findings showed that black holes could go against their all-absorbing nature at times and may aid creation. The research showed a supermassive black hole at the centre of a dwarf galaxy, some 30 million light-years away, creating stars rather than swallowing it.

Researchers have discovered a planet, named WASP-103b, some 1,500 light-years away from Earth, which they say is shaped more like a potato or a rugby ball.

European Space Agency (ESA) claims to have developed a solution that enables oxygen production from resources found on the Moon, including lunar soil or what is commonly known as moondust.

The 22 member states of the European Space agency pledged Thursday to boost their funding to support more missions and research projects, including a new generation of satellites to monitor climate change.

Researchers from the US, Europe, and around the world are coming together to discuss a mission to deflect an asteroid in space and to prove the technique to be an effective method of defence against a looming asteroid collision.
