The Perseid meteor shower, one of the most famous annual “shooting star” displays, reached its peak activity this week, putting on a spectacular show for skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere.

We can expect a lot more Starship action out of SpaceX in the near future.

The negative pressure suit can help mitigate the detrimental effects of being in a low gravity environment.

In the center of our galaxy, hundreds of stars closely orbit a supermassive black hole. Most of these stars have large enough orbits that their motion is described by Newtonian gravity and Kepler’s laws of motion. But a few orbit so closely that their orbits can only be accurately described […]

The CEO took to Twitter to bash SpaceX competitor ULA for not building reusable rockets.

Stars will continue to explode long after the universe is cold and “dead,” one scientist determined in diving down the rabbit hole to find the last supernova that will ever happen.

Betelgeuse’s odd recent dimming was caused by a huge cloud of material that the supergiant star blasted into space, a new study suggests.
