The James Webb Space Telescope is turning the Milky Way inside out, exposing the buried engines that actually drive our galaxy’s star production. By peering through dust, resolving crowded stellar ...

Far beyond the reach of any probe, astronomers have found a gas giant whose atmosphere behaves less like a familiar planet and more like a special effect from a big-budget space epic. Orbiting a ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. NASA aimed big for its SPHEREx’s first 3D cosmic map. Only six ...

NASA will release new high-res images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on Nov. 19, 2025. The comet, which originated outside our solar system, was first spotted in July and is only the third such object ...

The "quiet" supersonic aircraft developed by NASA and Lockheed Martin has completed its first flight in California. Dubbed the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology Aircraft, or Quesst, it is a sleek ...

A problem with the Mars Antenna, a giant NASA radio dish in California, has disrupted the Deep Space Network's spacecraft communication efforts, as well as asteroid studies, since Sept. 16, 2025.

A novel unified hydrodynamic model proposes a single mechanism to explain the contrasting equatorial jet stream directions on gas giants (eastward on Jupiter/Saturn) and ice giants (westward on Uranus ...

The Lockheed Martin X-59 Quesst, which stands for "Quiet SuperSonic Technology," is an experimental aircraft developed by Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works. That's the same organization that developed ...

After delays and concerns about progress, NASA and Lockheed Martin have announced that the experimental X-59 Quesst has taken to the skies. It was an unannounced flight, but the companies did release ...

NASA and Lockheed Martin debuted their first test run of a low-volume supersonic jet that’s expected to allow air passengers to travel faster than the speed of sound. The X-59 aircraft soared Tuesday ...

Why it matters: Supersonic flight has existed for nearly 80 years, but remains banned over land due to the deafening sonic booms produced when aircraft exceed Mach 1 (767 mph). NASA and Lockheed ...
