From its vantage point high above Earth’s atmosphere, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has completed its annual grand tour of the outer solar system – returning crisp images that are almost as good as earlier snapshots from...

This new Hubble Space Telescope view of Saturn, taken in late June of 2019, reveals the giant planet's iconic rings. Saturn’s amber colors come from summer smog-like hazes, produced in photochemical reactions driven by...

It’s hard to imagine what the surface of a dark, distant asteroid might look like, but NASA’s “Tour of Asteroid Bennu” brings us on a journey to see this landscape up close. The video, which was released in October...

Researchers say they’ve figured out how to make sure the next big one does not hit Earth and wipe out humanity.

If an Earth-bound asteroid was seen with only six months’ warning, a group of scientists from NASA and other space agencies has concluded that no-one could do anything to stop it hitting the planet, according to Business Insider.

The OSIRIS-REx team has already pushed the boundaries of scientific exploration — going from ground-based radar images from Arecibo in Puerto Rico all the way to orbiting a few hundred meters...

Analysis of images from NASA's Dawn mission reveals that dwarf planet Ceres hosts an unexpectedly young cryovolcano that formed with the past billion years.
