A red harvest moon could be seen rising over the Fort Worth skyline on Tuesday, September 17.
This full moon, named the harvest moon, was somewhat special, as it also featured a partial eclipse.
According to NASA, the eclipse reached its peak at 10:45 pm eastern time, when the moon was 8 percent covered. Credit: Matt Lantz via Storyful
The bright comet, last visible from Earth when Neanderthals were alive, will be able to be seen with the naked eye tonight but will then start to fade and disappear - here's how to see it
SpaceX pulled off the boldest test flight yet of its enormous Starship rocket on Sunday, catching the returning booster back at the launch pad with mechanical arms. A jubilant Elon Musk called it “science fiction without the fiction part.” Towering almost 400 feet (121 meters), the empty Starship blasted off at sunrise from the southern tip of Texas near the Mexican border.
First Catch Elon Musk's space venture SpaceX has just pulled off the seemingly impossible. During the company's fifth Starship test flight, SpaceX successfully caught the spacecraft's Super Heavy booster using its "Mechazilla" tower, an unbelievable feat of engineering that required an immense amount of precision and experience. It's the first time the company even attempted […]
Full Steam Ahead NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was used to spot a completely new kind of alien planet: a watery, far-off "steam world" comprised almost entirely of hot water vapor. As detailed in a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the planet — unceremoniously known as GJ 9827 — is twice […]
Claim raises idea explorer was from community expelled by his Spanish patrons, but experts view it with caution
Everything that happened in the latest test flight for Elon Musk's Starship rocket, and what it means for the SpaceX programme.
A centuries-old mystery is about to be revealed - the origins of explorer Christopher Columbus. Spanish scientists have already used DNA analysis to confirm his remains are buried in a tomb in Seville Cathedral in Spain. Long cited by authorities as his final resting place, there had been rival claims - but now arguments over the nationality of 15th-century explorer are also set to be laid to rest.
SpaceX launched Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, on its fifth test flight. Not only did the Super Heavy booster survive its daring return to the launchpad, but the Starship spacecraft appeared to fare much better during its descent back from space — avoiding the severe wear and tear that veered its predecessor off target during the last test in June.
A NASA spacecraft is ready to set sail for Jupiter and its moon Europa, one of the best bets for finding life beyond Earth. Europa Clipper will peer beneath the moon’s icy crust where an ocean is thought to be sloshing fairly close to the surface. Its massive solar panels make Clipper the biggest craft built by NASA to investigate another planet.
SpaceX has successfully launched and landed Starship, the spacecraft it hopes will allow it to carry humanity throughout the solar system. In an astonishing success, SpaceX used mechanical arms it refers to as “chopsticks” to catch its booster on the launchpad with the hope of reusing it. The main part of the spacecraft – which SpaceX also refers to as Starship, and which it hopes will one day carry humans – then travelled into orbit before coming back down to splash into the Indian Ocean.
The world’s most powerful rocket launched on another daring test flight from the SpaceX Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas Sunday.
NASA is set to launch a spacecraft to Jupiter's moon Europa, considered one of our solar system's most promising spots to search for life beyond Earth, to learn whether this ice-encased world believed to harbor a vast underground ocean is habitable. The U.S. space agency's robotic solar-powered Europa Clipper spacecraft will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, carrying nine scientific instruments. After traveling 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion km) in a trip lasting about 5-1/2 years, Europa Clipper is due to enter orbit around Jupiter in 2030.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Federal Aviation Administration approved a license on Saturday for the launch of SpaceX's Starship 5 set for Sunday after earlier saying it did not expect to make a decision until late November. The FAA said on Saturday SpaceX had "met all safety, environmental and other licensing requirements for the suborbital test flight" for the fifth test of the Starship and has also approved the Starship 6 mission profile. The Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket are a fully reusable system designed to carry crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon and beyond.
Comet A3 was visible from the UK on Saturday evening.
