There's an unusual launch this week, as a Soyuz rocket will carry actress Yulia Peresild and producer Klim Shipenko plus cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov to the ISS.
This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a particularly energetic type of galaxy, called a Seyfert galaxy, with a very bright galactic nucleus.
You can see NASA's Perseverance rover as spotted from the martian skies in this image, captured by the HiRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
The European and Japanese mission BepiColombo has made its first flyby of Mercury, capturing images of the planet it will eventually be exploring in more depth.
Researchers have made a rare detection of clouds in the atmosphere of an exoplanet, spotting puffs of unknown composition floating above planet WASP-127b.
Gravity creates strange optical illusions like beautiful rings in space named Einstein rings, one of which was recently captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
This month, the InSight lander detected one of its biggest ever marsquakes, which hit a magnitude of 4.2 and lasted for nearly ninety minutes on September 18.
New evidence shows volcanic activity on ancient Mars included thousands of 'super eruptions"'throwing huge quantities of dust and toxic gases into the air.
Hubble researchers have returned to the unstable star AG Carinae to show it from two different views, complied from observations in 2020, 2014, and 1994.
Three Chinese astronauts have returned safely from space following a three-month stay at the new Tiangong space station which is currently under construction.
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has shared a new way to experience space, with three new "sonifications" which turn visual astronomy data into sounds.
An new image of the surface of Mars captured by a European and Russian orbiter shows a stunning overhead view of deep trenches created by nearby volcanoes.
A new study in The Astronomical Journal suggests finding exomoons could be key to locating a potentially habitable Earth-like world in another solar system.
In recent decades, space agencies have mostly been focused on visiting Mars -- but now their sights are shifting to Earth's other planetary neighbor: Venus
The crew of SpaceX's first all-civilian mission, Inspiration4, will wait a little longer to go into space as the mission launch has been delayed by a day.
![This image of the young volcanic region of Elysium Planitia on Mars [10.3°N, 159.5°E] was taken on 14 April 2021 by the CaSSIS camera on the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO). The two blue parallel trenches in this image, called Cerberus Fossae, were thought to have formed by tectonic processes. They run for almost one thousand km over the volcanic region. In this image, CaSSIS is looking straight down into one of these 2 km-wide fissures.](https://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/volcanic_trenches_on_mars_pillars1.jpg?resize=300%2C180&p=1)
