NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured new images of Jupiter revealing never-before-seen details of the planet.

Those located in the Americas, Europe, or Africa can see this rare total lunar eclipse during the night of May 15, 2022.

At age 33, Watkins will soon make history as the first Black woman to join the International Space Station on an extended mission. She will serve as a mission specialist in a four-person crew on board a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft named Freedom.

The James Webb Space Telescope is gearing up to be an exoplanet extraordinaire. Among many other missions and targets, astronomers plan to use the observatory, now in its final stages of preparations to study…well, a world where it might rain lava.

The $10 billion space telescope's first images of deep space are finally here. Watch this historic event unfold on JAMES WEBB LIVE: FIRST IMAGES REVEALED Tuesday, July 12 at 10:30a on Discovery.

Nearly a month after the James Webb Space Telescope launched from French Guiana on December 25, the telescope has reached its final destination–almost a million miles from Earth.

The European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft has managed to watch stars tremble, their light subtly changing as starquakes ripple through their surfaces. Which is pretty cool, because Gaia wasn’t even designed to do it.

Ten years ago scientists at the Large Hadron Collider had finally found evidence for the elusive Higgs boson, a particle that plays a central role in physics. And since then…we haven’t found much.

Sometimes you just know. Something clicks, you have a realization that this relationship isn’t right, and it’s simply time to go. It can happen to anyone, at any time, even to planets, and even billions of years ago.

On Wednesday, NASA announced the Hubble telescope broke a new record– detecting the most distant star ever seen.

Sure, the Sun is big. It’s over a hundred times wider than the Earth and weighs over 330,000 times the mass of our planet.It’s peanuts.

Einstein was the first to explain the force of gravity as warps and dents in the fabric of spacetime. He was also the first to realize that those warps and dents can make waves – literal waves of gravity. But he didn’t think we would ever get to measure them, because they would be so tiny.

Let’s say one day astronomers announce that our worst nightmare has come true: a large object is headed towards the Earth with a significant chance of impact. What do we do?

You all have that person in your life. One minute they have you in stitches. The next they’re driving you nuts. You want to let go of this person but you just can’t…and the next day, you wish you never had the thought.You’re not alone, and what happens at the human level also happens at the cosmic level.
