The upcoming partial solar eclipse on March 29 is the perfect time to watch the moon hide and then reveal dark patches on the ...

On March 29, a partial solar eclipse will cause a dark shadow over eastern North America — and weather satellites will pick it up.

Firefly’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 set a new benchmark for commercial lunar exploration, lasting longer than any previous private mission and delivering 10 NASA instruments to the Moon. The mission ...

The gas giants outside our solar system are not capable of hosting extraterrestrial life, but do offer clues in a lingering ...

A new study by Rice University researchers Sho Shibata and Andre Izidoro presents a compelling new model for the formation of ...

The solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The planets, asteroids, and comets orbit the sun in elliptical paths. Here are 5 closest planets to the ...

Kepler-452b is the first near-Earth-size planet that orbits around a star the size of the sun, according to Nasa. It is roughly 60% larger than Earth, which gives it a higher chance of being rocky.

That same cloud gave rise to our entire solar system, including our star, the sun. Keep reading to learn more about Earth's different layers, its atmosphere, and what makes the "blue planet" unique.

All it requires is their orbits bringing them to the same side of the Sun as the Earth. But it's remarkably rare for six planets to align, and even rarer for seven. Only five planets, Mars ...

Because Venus is an inferior planet closer to the Sun than Earth, it goes through phases as seen from our planet. The best way to view its phase is through a telescope not long after the Sun has ...

Saturn may be difficult to see since it will be near the sun, according to StarWalk. It's not rare for several planets to line up in the sky, but the sight of four or five brilliant planets at ...

Later this week, a great planetary alignment will grace our skies when seven planets will sit above the horizon at once – a rare celestial phenomenon that won't happen again for 15 years.
