It’s a spectacular achievement to rendezvous with an asteroid as it’s whizzing around the sun. It's even more amazing to collect a sample. That's what the Hayabusa2 spacecraft did in February 2019. Here's what researchers learned.

On May 14, 2020, the moon is at or near its last quarter phase and close to the red planet Mars on the sky's dome. Watch for the half-lit moon in the predawn sky; the red planet will be near it.

This month, May 2020, presents the planet Venus' last full month in the evening sky for this year.

Data sonification uses data to result in a sound, so that you can better perceive what the data show. Here are several audio recordings based on data from the Mercury-bound BepiColombo spacecraft's Earth flyby on April 9.

The planets Jupiter and Saturn are exceedingly near each other now on the sky's dome, heading for a 20-year conjunction later this year. See them with the moon on May 12!

There's no sound in space. But - working with NASA - musicians and scientists turned a Hubble Space Telescope image of a galaxy cluster into music.

On the mornings of May 11, 12, 13 and 14, 2020, the waning moon will be sweeping past Jupiter, Saturn and finally Mars in the early morning sky. Great time to get acquainted!

Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) was getting brighter. Then, sadly, the Hubble Space Telescope caught it apparently disintegrating. Now ... surprise. Veteran comet observer Terry Lovejoy reported earlier today that the comet is brightening again!

Future astronauts on the moon will need to have water, and now NASA has designed a new CubeSat spacecraft to search for ice in lunar craters using laser beams.

Italy’s northern border with Switzerland depends on the natural, morphological boundaries of glaciers’ frontiers. But in recent years, glaciers have been melting at increased rates due to climate change. This has caused the border to shift noticeably.
