A NASA mission called Psyche is about to launch on a mission out to an unusual asteroid that's scientists believe is largely composed of metal.

NASA's Osiris-REx mission has successfully returned a pristine sample of asteroid back to Earth. This cupful-or-so of space rock could shed light on the solar system's origins.

NASA's first effort to retrieve samples from an asteroid will send a capsule that contains extraterrestrial pebbles and dust plunging towards a Utah desert on Sunday.

"The discovery signals a potentially habitable environment in the ocean of Europa," according to the Webb Space Telescope's website.

Frank Rubio's first mission broke the record for longest U.S. spaceflight last week. The medical doctor is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army and served as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot.

NASA is releasing a new report from advisers on what it would take for the agency to study unidentified anomalous phenomena (also known as UFOs) scientifically.

The United Arab Emirates celebrated after Emirati astronaut Sultan Alneyadi splashed down to Earth following six months in space, a milestone for its growing space program.

The four-member crew — three astronauts and a cosmonaut — launched in March and conducted more than 200 experiments. They also performed spacewalks and did maintenance on the orbiting outpost.

The four members of the Crew-7 mission are set to dock to the International Space Station on Sunday. They'll spend six months on the orbiting outpost conducting science and other experiments.

A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows a pair of actively forming stars. But many people are more curious about the tiny question mark visible toward the bottom of the frame.

Two weeks ago, the Jet Propulsion Lab lost contact with the interstellar spacecraft after engineers mistakenly pointed its antenna away from Earth. On Friday, it responded and is operating normally.

The dust, which came from distant stars, is thought to be similar to grains that eventually helped form the planets, including Earth.

On June 18, 1983, she made history aboard the space shuttle. America's first woman in space had joined NASA after responding to a newspaper ad. "I knew that's what I wanted to do," she said.

Boeing was set to launch its first astronauts into space next month. But engineers found flammable tape and problems with the capsule's parachutes. The Starliner program has been plagued by delays.

Getting Starship off the ground is costing the commercial spaceflight company billions of dollars at a time when money is tight. Some analysts think more funding will be needed.
