Created using data from two extensive surveys, this spectacular radio image of the galactic plane of the Milky Way provides valuable insights into the birth and death of stars.

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...

Astronomers used data from multiple space telescopes to create 3D models of celestial objects. These models help scientists understand how stars explode and die (supernovae). The models show the ...

The accomplishment "paves the way for long-distance and long-duration missions where creating spare parts, construction components, and tools on demand will be essential." When you purchase through ...

Researchers at a Scottish university have taken one small step toward a future where orbital factories can 3D print future tech on-demand in space. Dr. Gilles Bailet, from the University of Glasgow’s ...

NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther into space than they’ve ever gone before. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry astronauts to deep space, provide ...

As space exploration aims to go further than ever before, space agencies and companies are looking at new ways to sustain longer duration space flights, as well as on other planetary bodies. A ...

Scientists with the University of California, Berkeley, have carried out successful tests of a next-gen microgravity 3D printer called SpaceCAL. The tests were carried out as part of the Virgin ...

The first metal thingamajig ever 3D printed in space has landed on Earth, where European Space Agency (ESA) scientists are now studying it. In a press release, the ESA announced that the object — a ...

Netflix's 2018 reimagining of the sci-fi classic "Lost in Space" brought a lot of interesting ideas to the forefront — not the least of which was a more serious and character-driven story. What may ...
