Owning land here on Earth is nice and legal. But what about a plot of land on the Moon or Mars? When can I buy some ice on Europa?

LIGO has detected a third instance of gravitational waves. Like the previous two, this one was caused by merging black holes.

In a new article, Dr. Morris Jones of METI International proposed expanding our search for evidence of intelligent life by examining more exotic forms of communication

A team of researchers questions the existence of an event horizon around black holes and wonders what it would look like when a star collides with one.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - The 100th blastoff from NASA's historic pad 39A features a SpaceX Dragon resupply mission carrying three tons of science and crew supplies to the International Space Station as well as another unfathomable ground landing of the Falcon 9 rockets first stage. UPDATE: Stormy weather and lightning scrubs launch until Saturday, June 3 at 5:07 p.m.

A new study by researchers from St. Andrews University and the University of Strasbourg has shed light on why Venus has so few volcanoes compared to Earth.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VISITOR COMPLEX, FL - Following up last week's announcement of NASA's proposed Fiscal Year 2018 top line budget of $19.1 Billion by the Trump Administration, Universe Today spoke to NASA' s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Director Robert Cabana to get his perspective on the new budget and what it means for NASA and KSC; "Stay on the path!" - with SLS, Orion, ISS and Commercial Crew was his message in a nutshell.

SpaceX is targeting a June 1 blastoff for the firms next cargo delivery mission to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA following today's (May 28) successful test firing of the Falcon 9 booster's main engines on the Florida Space Coast under sunny skies.

The Sun uses its enormous mass to crush hydrogen into fusion, releasing enormous energy. How long will it be until we've got this energy source for Earth?

While viewing a massive star in the Fireworks Galaxy that was expected to go supernova, a team of astrophysicists instead found that it had formed a black hole.
