A new optical telescope concept could harness our Sun’s own gravity to make revolutionary observations of far-flung celestial objects.

With tomorrow's launch of the Artemis II mission to the moon, NASA's focus on our natural satellite is again gaining traction.

Antarctica, which harbors one of the harshest environments on Earth, would hardly seem to be a Valhalla for conventional astronomical observations.

A half century after NASA's Apollo 17 lunar module lifted off the Moon's northeastern near side quadrant, planetary scientists still don't completely understand when or how our Moon first formed.

NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter reveals a planet with an interior structure that is much more complex than ever previously thought.

Bizarre Venus surface formations (or coronae) are likely key to understanding our twin planet's heretofore inscrutable interior.

Preliminary results of a study presented at the recent European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna indicate that hellish Venus-type planets may be about twice as common as habitable planets that form with oceans.

NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter and its moons has made the closest ever approach of only 5000km to Jupiter's moon of Thebe.

Scientists are trying to understand Venus' bright surface formations, called coronae, using new 3D maps.

The long, puzzling dwarf planet Ceres, in reality the first named asteroid, has surface features that are much more complex than previously thought.
