NASA's Roman space telescope mission - launching sometime in the mid-2020s - is expected to find at least 100,000 new exoplanets orbiting other stars, say astronomers.

SpaceX's test flight of Starship SN15 went off without a hitch today, May 5, 2021. Following 4 Starship prototypes that exploded upon landing after their high-altitude flight tests, the SN15 landed safely.

Check out these pics from the annual Eta Aquariid meteor shower. The peak morning was likely May 5, 2021, but the following morning, May 6, might be good, too.

The gravity of the Large Magellanic Cloud - one of the Milky Way's satellite dwarf galaxies - is collecting stars behind it in a trail, like the wake from a boat, as it travels through our galaxy's halo.

In and around Florida, at least, no more "finders keepers" once a new bill becomes law on July 1. The Spaceflight Assets bill affirmed by the Florida legislature in late April 2021 requires that anyone who finds "reasonably identifiable" spacecraft parts make a "reasonable effort" to notify the hardware's owner.

Scientists have used radio waves to precisely measure Venus' spin rate and tilt on its axis. We knew the Venus day was exceedingly long, but now we know that the length of a day on Venus regularly changes in length!

In May 2019, astronomers measured the largest flare ever from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our sun. What do such flares mean for possible alien life, on a planet in the Proxima Centauri system, only 4 light-years away?

In 2018, a small asteroid crashed into Earth, and scientists recovered pieces of it in a Botswana game reserve. Now the scientists have determined the space rock's origin: Vesta, in the asteroid belt.

Astronomers have managed to detect very long wavelength radio emission from a well-studied, repeating fast radio burst, called FRB 20180916B. What's more, the longer wavelengths arrive 3 days after the shorter wavelength counterpart of the signal! Why?

NASA has released a cool new visualization showing two massive black holes orbiting each other in a stunning display of light. The intense gravity and other phenomena all play a part in producing this mesmerizing display. Watch here.
