NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope produced the first 3D atmospheric map of exoplanet WASP-18b, an ultra-hot Jupiter 400 light-years away.

You may have heard about the extensive testing facilities for spacecraft and equipment, but how do scientists prepare for the human aspect of space exploration?

A retro-futuristic space truck. A nimble crustacean on wheels. A space-age dune buggy. One will win a multibillion-dollar prize to deploy on a future NASA Artemis mission. But first, we took a ride on ...

On their way into space, astronauts' bodies deteriorate dramatically in zero gravity. To address this problem and protect our pioneers in space, researchers are looking for realistic test models. This ...

Four weeks after its acquisition on October 2–3, 2025, the vital MRO HiRISE data remains inaccessible to researchers.

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...

Children peered through telescopes, made models with 3D pens, and chatted with an astronaut Wednesday night at a Space ...

A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiters is now the first planet outside Earth's solar system to be mapped in three ...

The first three-dimensional map of a planet orbiting another star reveals an atmosphere with distinct temperature zones.

Astronomers have generated the first three-dimensional map of a planet orbiting another star, revealing an atmosphere with ...

Despite the ongoing government shutdown, NASA did manage to complete a major milestone in its effort to send astronauts back ...
