Data collected by NASA's missions about interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will continue to reveal insights about the comet and ...

NASA’s groundbreaking science and exploration missions increasingly rely on the efficient use of large-scale data, advanced computing, and high-performance analytics. Led by Kevin Murphy (Chief ...

In one of the biggest surprises of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, its target asteroid, Bennu, turned out to be a jagged, rugged ...

The bigger the hailstone, the more damage it can cause. But scientists find that predicting hailstone size can be challenging ...

Scientists estimate that Earth is home to more than 100 million lakes. Among the most unusual is Lake Unter-See, one of Antarctica’s largest and deepest surface lakes, known for its distinctive water ...

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow on Earth. The shadow comprises two concentric cones, a dark inner shadow called the umbra and a lighter outer ...

Hubble identified a rare dark galaxy — a low-surface-brightness galaxy dominated by dark matter and containing only a sparse scattering of faint stars.

Why is a lunar eclipse sometimes called a “blood Moon”? During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon appears dark red or orange. This is because our planet blocks most of the Sun’s light from reaching the ...

An atmospheric phenomenon occurring over much of California was unmistakable in satellite imagery in late autumn 2025. Fog stretching some 400 miles (640 kilometers) across the state’s Central Valley ...

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare — seen as the bright flash on the right — on Dec. 8, 2025. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights ...

Hubble caught a feast in action. A dense, nearby white dwarf star is snacking on a fragment of an icy Pluto-like object.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS Aug. 6, with its Near-Infrared Spectrograph instrument. The research team has been ...
