If you’ve ever dreamed of going to outer space, your wish may soon come true — and you won’t have to join NASA to make it happen.
Monday marks the day when astronomers made a startling announcement: after years of searching, they’ve discovered an Earth-like planet outside the solar system that may very well be habitable.

According to the manager of NASA’s Near Earth Object Program, an asteroid just larger than an aircraft carrier is passing between the Earth and moon this Tuesday. He says he is 100% sure that the Earth and the moon are NOT in any danger.

The Twin Towers were enormous buildings and the attacks of 9/11 were of such magnitude that people were able to see the skyline change from neighboring states and camera-equipped satellites were even able to capture the aftermath from space.
NASA is sending a set of robotic twins to the moon to measure lunar gravity while chasing one another around in circles.
Thursday and Friday's scheduled launches were delayed by high winds at Cape Canaveral, so NASA will try again on Saturday morning. Their launch window extends into mid-October.
The near-identical twins called GRAIL-A and GRAIL-B, (short for Gravity Recovery and Interior Laborato
In the most stunning piece of planetary news since Pluto’s sad demotion, astronomers have found a star-orbiting land mass that is so dense it's carbon is crystalline — which means it’s basically a planet made out of diamonds.
Space shuttle Atlantis landed at Cape Canaveral in the pre-dawn hours on Thursday, ending the 30-year NASA program.
The shuttle fleet has kept U.S. astronauts flying to a from orbit longer than any other rocketship.
During their 13-day mission Atlantis delivered a year's worth of supplies to the International Space Station. The payload included 2,677 pounds of food and 9,400 pounds of spare parts.
