The holiday season is a busy time for humankind’s sun-surfing spacecraft. This Christmas Eve, the Parker Solar Probe will be going where no probe has gone before: a mere 3.8 million miles from the sun’s surface.

The transition team has been grappling with an agency that has a superfluity of field centers—ten spread across the United States, as well as a formal headquarters in Washington, DC—and large, slow-moving programs that cost a lot of money and have been slow to deliver results.

Space missions to the moon, Mars and beyond often get the most attention, but NASA's Near Space Network does a lot of heavy lifting for humankind's reach for the stars.

Through NASA's Artemis campaign, astronauts will land on the lunar surface and use a new generation of spacesuits and rovers as they live, work, and conduct science in the moon's south pole region, exploring more of the lunar surface than ever before.

NASA has pushed its first two crewed Artemis moon missions back to 2026 and 2027, and the move could have big ramifications.

In February 2024, more than half a century after the America's last crewed mission to the Moon, Apollo 17, concluded, NASA finally made a comeback up there. It didn’t send people, but a robotic lander developed by Intuitive Machines and delivered to Luna ...

The Parker Solar Probe will swoop just 6.1 million kilometers above the sun’s surface on Christmas Eve. Scientists are thrilled at what we might learn

At 3.8 million miles from the Sun's surface, Parker Solar Probe will be the closest a human-made object's ever been to our host star.

Let's set the record straight: NASA has not found a parallel universe. The claims making the rounds on social media are not based on new scientific findings but are instead a distorted interpretation of older research.

New imagery has been released from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which captured a photo of a spiral galaxy more than 76 million light-years away from Earth.
