A Russian spacecraft has crashed into the moon. The plan had been for the Luna-25 spacecraft to land on the moon's surface in the area around the south pole.
Researchers used Hubble to observe Neptune's clouds to investigate a mystery: why sometimes the planet had plentiful clouds and at other times had barely any.
A program called Every Known Nearby Galaxy is using Hubble to observe every galaxy located within 10 megaparsecs of Earth that has not yet been imaged.
The InSight lander mission ended last year, but its data reveals some surprises about Mars, including the fact that the planet is rotating faster every year.
This weekend sees the opportunity to catch the best meteor shower of the year, as the Earth passes through a cloud of debris from a comet called Swift–Tuttle.
The James Webb Space Telescope only launched recently, but scientists are already plotting a planet-hunting telescope that will help find worlds like our own.
A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the stunning Ring Nebula -- a gorgeous structure of dust and gas located in the constellation of Lyra.
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope show incredible views of the dusty galaxy NGC 6822 - and the different views captured by Webb instruments.
The Curiosity rover is slowing making its way up Mount Sharp, a 3-mile-tall mountain on Mars. But heaving up a mountain can be tricky for a little rover.
A recent image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the most massive galaxy cluster we know of, one so large that it is nicknamed El Gordo, or the fat one.
The recently-launched Euclid space telescope just took some of its first images, giving a taste of what is to come from this dark matter investigation tool.
An image from the Dark Energy Camera shows an act of galactic cannibalism, with a spiral galaxy devouring a nearby dwarf galaxy that wandered into its path.
A Neptune-sized planet orbits close enough to its star that it is bombarded by dramatic flares which cook the planet with radiation and strip its atmosphere.
Newborn stars are often active and glow brightly, but on rare occasions they create something epic: a vast two-lobed structure called a Herbig-Haro object.
This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a stunning view of a spiral galaxy called UGC 12295, located nearly 200 million light-years away.
This Hubble image is composed of two different exposures which have been merged together, showing star BD+17 2217 shining over the background galaxy Arp 263.
Recently astronomers discovered a very unusual example of a white dwarf: one that seems to have one side composed of hydrogen and the other side of helium.
Last year, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid. Now, Hubble has observed that a number of boulders have been ejected from the asteroid.
Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to identify grains of dust from the early universe, which could have been produced by the earliest supernovas.
