Research findings show that a second temporary moon is the norm in our planet, noting that what looked like a spent rocket stage which was seen orbiting the Earth in 2006 was in fact asteroid 2006 RH120, a natural satellite like the moon.

Here's another amazing video of the comet Lovejoy from the International Space Station. The images were captured by NASA astronaut Daniel Burbank, who is currently commander of the International Space Station.

Want to know which moons and planets have the highest probability of hosting extra-terrestrial life?

The moon isn't the only satellite Earth has according to astrophysicists from the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. Our planet actually gains and losses moons all the time.

Cowley County, Kansas - residents took video of the military pulling a covered item on a flatbed truck down U.S. Highway 77. Then quickly, a breeze of rumor strike indicating that the thing was an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO).

One of the most intriguing mysteries in the Bible is the location of the Star of Bethlehem, the star that led the Three Wise Men to the manger where Jesus was born. Astronomers have proposed countless theories about what the star might have been and where it could be located in the galaxy.

NASA’s ongoing “Smart SPHERES” experiment has demonstrated how a smartphone controller can serve as remotely operated assistant after it successfully transmitted motion data gathered by a free-flying robot on the International Space Station to its astronaut handler.

NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has discovered two small Earth-sized worlds orbiting a star in the Cygnus constellation. They're the smallest exoplanets found to date and an encouraging sign that Kepler could find planets as small as Earth.

ET watchers may be able to find an alien world through telescopes that may spot artificial lightings “out there.”

A new study has found that the hydrogen and helium gases that made Jupiter a gas giant is destroying the planet’s very core, leading astronomers to believe that most massive extrasolar planets have no cores at all, changing the view scientists have long held of these distant worlds.

A newly discovered comet, categorized by astronomers as a “sungrazer, had survived a suicidal rendezvous with the sun’s more than 3.6. million degrees farenheit temperature. Astronomers had earlier predicted that the comet will be destroyed once it dives into the sun’s hellish atmosphere.

Russia’s doomed Phobos-Grunt mission is expected to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere between Jan. 6 to Jan. 19, but space officials allayed fears that the toxic fuel and radioactive materials will be pose danger when the vehicle makes it fiery plunge.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft, which has began a new phase in its mission called "low-altitude mapping orbit,” is in an excellent position to have a closer look yet at the asteroid Vesta as it zooms nearer to the giant space rock's surface.

A supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way could swallow a gas cloud heading towards it which could generate flares of radiation, astronomers say.

NASA has announced a new procurement strategy by will allow U. S. companies to transport astronauts into space instead of outsourcing this job to foreign government, providing momentum to America’s commercial space program.

The NASA Research and Technology Studies (RATS) team are gearing up for possible trips to near-Earth asteroids.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has started work even before it reaches Mars by monitoring space radiation during its 8-month trip from Earth to Mars to determine the environment that an astronaut would encounter on a future human mission to the Red Planet.

Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen announced Tuesday that he and aerospace engineer Burt Rutan are building the largest aircraft that can launch a satellite or spacecraft into orbit.

Russia's Phobos-Grunt mission controllers have one last chance to establish communication with the doomed spacecraft starting Tuesday at 17:00 UTC through Wednesday at 23:00, when conditions will make the odds even grimmer.

A new study suggests that Mercury’s strange spin may have been caused by collision with a giant asteroid, which may have also caused Caloris Basin, Mercury's largest impact crater.

Japan has successfully launched a radar reconnaissance satellite rode into orbit Monday boosting the country’s intelligence-gathering capacity. It was the second launch for the year, following a successful liftoff in September.

A recent study by Australian scientists showed that large parts of Mars could sustain terrestrial life, though most of it underground.

There was a time when going to the stars was backed by governments and only specially trained astronauts could ever see outer space. Governments around the world are still investing in space programs, China just launched its own unmanned spacecraft back in October, but private enterprise has steadily been building the beginning of an actual space industry.

It’s Christmas and you want to find the perfect gift for your loved one who is interested in astronomy or space exploration. Here's our top five Christmas gift ideas that any space enthusiast will surely love.

A "milestone" in spaceflight is expected Feb. 7, when Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) will launch its second Commercial Orbital Transportation Services demonstration flight, with NASA agreeing to fly SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station.

Russian has again asked the assistance of the European Space Agency (ESA) to contact the Phobos-Grunt spacecraft to avert the impending re-entry of the vehicle to the Earth’s atmosphere.

Is the image caught on camera by NASA spacecraft a cloaked UFO spaceship lurking near Mercury or just an after image of the planet itself?

NASA's Dawn mission to asteroid Vesta has revealed more images of the asteroid's topography and found that the asteroid has a mountain that is three times the size of Earth's Mount Everest.

Space is a vast and dangerous place. The enormous distances between the stars means that it would take centuries to reach the nearest star to our solar system. Alpha Centauri is only 4.27 light years from the Sun but it would still take about 50,000 years on our fastest spacecraft to reach it. Given these obstacles are the stars barred from us forever? Should we even try for interstellar spaceflight?
