Mankind hasn’t yet explored some of the most interesting objects in our own solar system — heck, we still don’t even know all that much about Earth itself — but that isn’t stopping NASA from setting its sights at a destination so distant that it would take decades for a spacecraft to even get...

This week, scientists are preparing to study a mysterious cigar-shaped object, the first known interstellar object to pass through our solar system. Scientists will listen to the object for radio transmissions for the first time using the Green Bank telescope, the world's largest fully...

Is NASA hiding clear video evidence of a UFO descending to Earth? To paraphrase what a spokesperson from the space agency told me when I asked: "Uh, no." NASA increasingly has eyes all over the solar system, whether it's on Mars, above our heads in orbit or, as of this week, around Jupiter. So...

China has completed construction of the world’s largest radio telescope, which required the resettlement of more than 9,000 people. It will be used to hunt for signs of alien life in deep space. The Single-Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), as it is known, is an enormous dish made up of...

They say the bigger, the better and this is especially true when it comes to northern lights. NASA’s Hubble Telescope managed to capture gigantic aurora at Jupiter’s north pole some days before Juno spacecraft arrives at the solar system’s biggest planet. The video on NASA’s Facebook page was...

Baffled scientists have discovered a mysterious noise that is emanating from the Caribbean Sea. This low pitched sound cannot be heard by humans but can be detected from space. Scientists have never heard anything like it. Beneath the hum of giant waves and other unexplained noise from the deep...

China is planning to land a rover on Mars by 2020 and bring back samples from the Red Planet a decade later, according to a top scientist with the country’s Lunar Exploration Program. The Mars probe will be launching an orbiter and a landing rover, Ouyang Ziyuan of the Chinese Academy of...
