Wow! Check out these space-based views of the Mercury transit from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.

Full moon comes on November 12, 2019, as the moon is sweeping through the constellation Taurus the Bull. This full moon comes on the peak night of the North Taurid meteor shower.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has returned some amazing high-resolution photos of the surface of the moon, including these ones of steep cliffs and impact melt inside a young crater called Giordano Bruno.

You've heard of panspermia, the idea that life exists throughout space and was carried to Earth by comets? What if the reverse occurred, with microbes on Earth ejected into space by asteroid impacts, escaping into the solar system billions of years ago?

The moon is big and bright nearly all night now. It'll turn full on Tuesday, just as the North Taurid meteor shower reaches a peak. The moon is a problem for meteor-watching, but this owl ... a bigger problem.

Mercury will pass directly in front of the sun on November 11, 2019. During the Mercury transit, the planet will appear as a black dot crossing the sun's face. Click here to learn who will see it, how to watch, and transit times.

Slow-moving North Taurids don't exhibit a sharp peak, so meteor rates may remain fairly steady for the next several days. Too bad about the moon!

Bettina Berg captured this sweet image of a bird and the moon in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 6, 2019.

New images from ESO's Very Large Telescope show that asteroid Hygiea is round, meaning that it may now be classified as the smallest-known dwarf planet in our solar system.

This composite - made of 7 images - will show you what the eye alone can't see in the area of the sky in and around the constellation Orion.
