Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers.

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and hosts the remnant of a Type Ia supernova explosion, named N103B. Hubble Space Telescope imagery was used to create this zoom-in video of the remnant.

Many of the technological advances predicted in Star Trek’s fictional universe have become reality, such as the mobile communicator and hand-held tablet computers. The Conversation

SpaceX isn't content with just re-using the first stages of its Falcon 9 rockets; the company aims to recover and refly the boosters' payload fairings, and perhaps their second stages as well, company founder and CEO Elon Musk said.

A Cygnus cargo mission to the International Space Station delayed because of booster problems will not fly until at least the middle of April, a NASA official said March 28.

A roughly 26-foot (8 meter) asteroid named 2017 FJ101 came within 202,000 miles (~325,087 km) of Earth on Mar. 30, 2017. It was first observed on March 25, 2017.

The CEO and lead designer of SpaceX commented immediately following the historic first launch and landing of a Falcon 9 first stage that has previously flown.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket soared off a seaside launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center today (March 30) on an unprecedented second mission to deliver a spacecraft into orbit, proving the booster’s reusability.

The Trump administration is asking Congressional appropriators to cut millions from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather satellite programs and from NASA science programs in any fiscal year 2017 spending bills.

On March 30, 2017, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the SES-10 communications satellite into orbit from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. See photos from the launch — which also included the successful landing of the rocket's first stage — here.

SpaceX will launch one of its used rockets on an orbital space mission this evening (March 30) for the first time ever, and you can watch the historic liftoff live.

It looks like NASA's stepping-stone to Mars will be a miniature space station in lunar orbit rather than a chunk of captured asteroid.

A reused first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket landed on the “Of Course I Still Love You” drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean on March 30, 2017. The same first stage made the first ever drone ship landing in April 2016.

The private spaceflight company launched the SES-10 communications satellite from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. It’s the second launch for the this Falcon 9 first stage (first being in April 2016).

NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson set a new spacewalking record as she and fellow NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough ventured outside the International Space Station today (March 30).

Tonight (March 30), look for the Red Planet low in the western sky about 45 minutes after sunset. You can see the moon as your guide.

The NASA satellite was shut down on March 30, 2017 after 17 years of service and will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere in 2056. It captured over 92,000 images and more than 1,500 research papers were written as a result.

The SES-10 communications satellite is scheduled to launch tonight (March 30) atop a used SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Luxembourg-based company SES aims to use SES-10, along with 65 other satellites in orbit, to offer customers a new way of doing business.

NASA's sharp-eyed Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has now circled the Red Planet 50,000 times.

A region of sky that the Chandra X-ray Observatory has scanned many times briefly erupted with bright x-ray flashes over the course of a few hours. It faded “dramatically in about a day,” according to the Chandra team.

ars once may have possessed an atmosphere about as thick as Earth's, but lost most of it to space due to solar wind and ultraviolet rays, a new study finds.
