This photo of the birth of a star, newly captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, is so beautiful that it seems unreal, like a picture-perfect matte painting for a science fiction movie. But there's no fiction in here – it's all science.
This is not a computer simulation. It's an actual time-lapse video taken over four years by the Hubble telescope.
This NASA interstellar spaceship concept may take us where no human has gone before. And it has me screaming like a little Klingon girl.
NASA released some images today shot that help to illustrate why skyscrapers make a city hotter.
Fresh vegetables are one of the luxuries astronauts don't get much of in space, but thanks to a new inflatable habitat that's in testing, they'll soon be eating healthier.
NASA's latest data download just covered way more distance, and contained way more awesome, than any earthbound file transfer: the agency beamed a high-def video down from the International Space Station this week using a high-powered laser. Go ahead and give your WiFi router a good stern look.
Fortunately there is no need for concern.
The space agency currently has an unsustainable strategy for landing human feet on the surface of the red planet.
The "massive malfunction" that killed seven astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986 also forever changed NASA; an agency that seemed infallible.
It's official: ISEE-3, the 36-year-old satellite that NASA left for dead over a decade ago, is back in touch with humankind.
NASA is today sending the astronauts on the International Space Station a new pair of shoes. These so-called ForceShoes are not for space walks. They're actually a high tech measurement device that helps NASA scientists gain a better understanding of the effects that heavy loads have on astronauts' bodies.
If you think watching the launch of a single rocket is cool get ready to see all the thirteen Saturn V rockets launching at the same time. The video is composed in a single screen so you see all of them ignite and launch at once.
31 years is a long time for a hotel to keep the décor the same. But things are a little different aboard the ISS, where lab rats have been shuttled back and forth from Earth in the same modular boxes since 1983. Now, NASA has unveiled a new rat pod—and it could help us learn how to keep human passengers healthy as we travel further and further into space.
