Neil deGrasse Tyson writes, "Objective truths of science are not founded in belief systems. They are not established by the authority of leaders or the power of persuasion."

On the anniversary of President Kennedy's speech on the race to the moon, we look at dramatic advances in U.S. space science, from commercial flights to the Webb telescope.

NASA has called off its second launch attempt for its new moon rocket because of yet another fuel leak.

A new book is written from the witty, sharp, sometimes self-indulgent perspective of our Milky Way galaxy, detailing what it's like to look down on tiny planet Earth.

NASA's Apollo missions already sent astronauts to the moon from 1969 to 1972. But scientists say there's still lots of good science to do there.

Humans have long asked the question, “Are we alone?” These SETI scientists are on a quest to find out

Bill Ochs, the project manager for the James Webb telescope, shares the trials and tribulations of the launch and what it's like having the images out in the world.

The Webb Telescope is allowing us to look back further into our past than ever before and revealing distant galaxies. exoplanets, cosmic cliffs, dying stars and much more.

Thanks to the telescope's deep and sharp infrared images, Earthlings are getting a more detailed look at distant galaxies than was ever possible.

NASA's $10 billion new telescope showed the world something remarkable today: an image of some of the first galaxies to form in the universe.

Boeing Aerospace has donated $3 million to the Franklin Institute’s $8 million update of its space exhibition, planned for 2023.

Astronomers hope to use the data to understand better how stars are born and die, and how the Milky Way evolved over billions of years.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be sequentially aligned and visible at dawn throughout June. The last time this happened was in 2004.

The daredevil known as “Mad Mike” Hughes died in a rocket crash in 2020. He was an amateur rocket builder on a quest to prove that the Earth is flat.

These so-called exoplanets include rocky worlds similar in size to Earth, gas giants larger than Jupiter and even"'mini-Neptunes."
