Moving across the country can feel like the end of the world, but for one fictional family in the 2021 disaster film Asteroid (streaming now on Peacock), the association was a little more literal.

Even most rocket scientists would rather avoid hard math when they don't have to do it. So when it comes to figuring out ...

In a solar system far, far away, astronomers have discovered evidence of possible "sibling" planets sharing the same orbit. The researchers detected a cloud of debris in the same orbital path as an ...

Google’s idea of putting a data center in orbit sounds like the ultimate flex of cloud computing, a way to chase cooler ...

Planets orbit their parent stars while separated by enormous distances – in our solar system, planets are like grains of sand in a region the size of a football field. The time that planets take to ...

It's not going to happen ... probably. Astronomers have almost found all the kilometer-sized asteroids. There’s a little under 1,000 of them—and none of them will strike Earth in the next 1,000 years.

Orbital debris stopped being an abstract risk in 2025 and briefly became a live emergency, forcing operators to scramble ...

A new dataset from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory maps one million cis-lunar orbits, highlighting orbital stability challenges, space domain awareness needs, and planning requirements for Moon ...

A large cloud of tiny fragments revolves around Earth following satellite explosions, rocket stage malfunctions, and anti-satellite missile testing. These fragments—some as small as grains of ...

The apparent brightness of celestial objects, rather than their proximity, is the primary factor determining observability. Andromeda Galaxy, despite its vast distance, appears significantly brighter ...

“I moved here in mid-June, and I was probably plotting the first drafts of the Orbital on day two or three of living here,” says Michael Tormey, founder of the 177-mile Denver Orbital Trail (DOT) that ...
