Astronomers are researching an Earth-like exoplanet that could contain water, according to NASA. The exoplanet, named TRAPPIST-1 e, is being monitored by the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever launched into space.

Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 e may contain an atmosphere and liquid water, NASA scientists said. Research into the exoplanet is ongoing.

The delicate balance that has allowed life to flourish here on our little planet has not been completely discovered elsewhere.

NASA confirms that asteroid 2009 FF is heading towards Earth. The space rock is about 490 feet wide. It travels at 28,916 miles per hour.

NASA confirms that asteroid 2025 QV9 will fly by Earth on September 10. The asteroid is airplane-sized and travels at high speed. It will pass at a sa

The space rock will make its closest approach—at a cosmically slight 183,000 miles from our planet—later today, according to the space agency.

NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission has uncovered surprising behavior of pickup ions drifting through the solar wind near Earth. These particles, once thought to be minor players, appear capable of generating waves and influencing how the solar wind heats and evolves.

In July 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover extracted a rock core from the edge of Neretva Vallis, a river valley cut into the Martian surface by water rushing into the Jezero Crater billions of years ago. This mysterious rock caught the attention of scientists on Earth, as its features may reveal clues about possible ancient life on the Red Planet.
