On March 29, the Moon is going to enter perigee – the point in its elliptical orbit that brings it closest to Earth. This is known as a supermoon, famous for appearing in the sky as a larger-than-usual luminous orb, and presenting some excellent astrophotography opportunities.Here’s the kicker, though: The March 29 supermoon is during the Moon’s new

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has identified an Earth-like planet, Kepler-186f, within the habitable zone, also known as the “Goldilocks zone,” of a neighboring star in the Cygnus constellation, approximately 500 light-years away. This marks the first time an Earth-sized planet has been found within the habitable zone of another star. What’s

45 years after its launch, NASA’s Voyager 1 is still traveling beyond our Solar System. However, the veteran spacecraft is suddenly sending back unusual data that is baffling its engineers. While the probe is still operational, readouts from its attitude articulation and control system – AACS for short – do not appear to match the

Astronomers have discovered a new exoplanet that is slightly larger than Earth and orbits a red dwarf star 66.5 light-years away. It’s a good prospect, scientists think, to help cover our massive information vacuum regarding our Milky Way galaxy’s small, rocky planet population. Since the initial discovery of an exoplanet in 1992, our detection capabilities
