DART truly made a mess last night.

The DART spacecraft's tiny companion is ready to photograph a brand-new impact site Monday night (Sept. 26).

For NASA's DART spacecraft, the drama happens in space, but mission success relies on telescopes back on Earth.

When NASA's DART mission slams itself into an asteroid called Dimorphos, three different science spacecraft will be trying to watch the action.

Scientists expected that the lander would run out of power by the end of the summer, but InSight is still eking out science data and may for several months to come — potentially even into January.

Satellites are watching as Hurricane Fiona, currently a Category 1 storm, pummels Caribbean islands.

NASA's Perseverance rover has spotted a phenomenon scientists had lost hope of ever seeing on Mars.

On Sept. 26, DART will slam headfirst into a small asteroid, the rare case when a spacecraft's destruction is the desired outcome.

NASA's venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft has reached a key milestone.

Astronomers have written the Milky Way's story many times over; scientists have traced violent collisions in its past and future and peered into the supermassive black hole lurking at its heart.

We now know where on the moon NASA astronauts will set foot after more than 50 years' absence.

NASA will roll out its massive rocket for a flight around the moon earlier than planned.

The future is a slippery thing, but sometimes physics can help. And while human destiny will remain ever unknown, the fate of two of our artifacts can be calculated in staggering detail.

Lindy Elkins-Tanton offers a very human view of her experiences in science and life alike in her new memoir, "A Portrait of the Scientist as a Young Woman."

Jupiter always shines, even when seen sideways in unprocessed data.

Even NASA's newest observatory can't manage to see supermassive black holes directly, but that doesn't mean astronomers can't use its data to better understand the mysterious behemoths.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket took the scenic route as it lofted 46 Starlink satellites to orbit on Friday (July 22).

SpaceX's next Dragon passengers will need to wait a little longer to get off the ground.

NASA is delaying the launch of a long-lived rover designed to sniff out water on the moon.

It was an emotional day for scientists as they shared with the world the first science-quality images from NASA's next-generation observatory.

A new era of seeing deeper into the universe than ever before has begun.

There's something very strange happening high above South America and the nearby Atlantic Ocean, and NASA is on the case.

Next time the Event Horizon Telescope turns to study the monster black hole at the center of the Milky Way, it will have help from the James Webb Space Telescope.

The sun is waking up — and making sure we all know it.
