Biden's 2022 NASA budget proposal gives science and commercial space a boost

And although Biden did not propose delaying the 2024 moon landing — a timeline set by the previous presidential administration — NASA Chief Financial Officer Steve Shinn acknowledged that the ambitious mission could be delayed. Related: Presidential ...

Five launches planned from Florida's Space Coast in June

The launch rate to start 2021 is a record for orbital missions from Cape Canaveral. The cadence has largely been driven by SpaceX's rapid deployment of Starlink internet satellites. In an interview, Eno said the pace ...

10 mind-boggling things you should know about quantum physics

The subatomic world is similar. Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize for proving that energy is quantized. Just as you can only buy shoes in multiples of half a size, so energy only comes in multiples of the same "quanta" — hence the name quantum physics.

Mars helicopter 'muscles through' navigation glitch on sixth flight

Ingenuity overcame the glitch, which engineers traced to part of the helicopter's navigation system. The helicopter limped through the rest of its flight and safely landed about 16 feet (5 meters) from its planned touchdown location, NASA said.

Dark energy survey releases most precise look at the universe's evolution

The extraordinarily precise analysis, which includes data from the survey's first three years, contributes to the most powerful test of the current best model of the universe, the standard cosmological model. However, hints remain from ...

Milky Way's galactic core overflows with colorful threads in new Chandra panorama (video, photos)

At the center of our Milky Way galaxy, threads of superheated gas and magnetic fields weave around each other to create a spectacular galactic display captured in a striking new panoramic image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This new image of ...

Mercury and Venus will be at their closest until 2033 tonight, but may be hard to spot

The pair of planets will be visible low in the western sky for roughly 30 to 40 minutes after sunset, according to EarthSky. Observing will be tough given you may be competing with buildings and air pollution to see the planets, so bring binoculars if you can.

Breakthrough in 3D magnetic nanostructures could transform modern-day computing

Scientists have taken a step towards the creation of powerful devices that harness magnetic charge by creating the first ever three-dimensional replica of a material known as a spin-ice. Spin ice materials are extremely unusual as they possess so-called ...
