In astronomy, larger distances are both a blessing and a curse. They can cause issues like longer communication times, which ...

Astronomers are dialed in for this discovery. Researchers for the first time have tracked a pulsing radio signal in space back to its original source — deep in our Milky Way galaxy. The team ...

How can fission-powered propulsion help advance deep space exploration, specifically to the outer planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune? This is what a recent study presented at the ...

They found a repeating pattern: a few hundred seconds of dim X-ray light, followed by a similar period of bright light.

Astronomers recently got a close-up look at the comet, known as C/2014 UN271, flying through deep space with the powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope in Chile.

He primarily covers exoplanets, spaceflight and military space, but has been known to dabble in the space art beat. His book about the search for alien life, "Out There," was published on Nov. 13 ...

Those things are not designed for deep space, and there's no advantage in multiple relays along the way. One or a few in Earth orbit, one at say Earth-sun L4.

Regardless, the discovery revealed that the solar system’s earliest eras hosted some unexpected deep space interactions. Moving forward, the team hopes to conduct isotopic studies on the samples ...
