Challenging long-held assumptions, Aarhus University researchers have demonstrated that the protein building blocks essential for life as we know it can form readily in space. This discovery, appearing in Nature Astronomy,

The United States remains “unacceptably vulnerable” to a dangerous form of escalation by Russia in space, including the possibility of a nuclear detonation that could cripple satellites and disrupt daily life on Earth,

AI data centers in space offer sustainable computing solutions, avoiding Earth's storms and cyber threats while reducing the environmental impact, experts say.

Global investment in space ‌technology is poised to climb further in 2026, propelled by government spending on defense-linked satellite systems and private sector bets on launch capacity, investment firm Seraphim Space said on Monday.

Within the image, thick clouds of cold hydrogen gas arrange themselves into ridges and wispy filaments. The deep red tones come from hydrogen gas that has been energized by the harsh radiation of newly formed stars. Where the glow is brightest, it's a sign that hot, massive young stars have recently become more active.

The research has implications for NASA’s goals to build a base on the moon and eventually conduct crewed missions to Mars.

Scientists have discovered a large bar‑shaped cloud of iron atoms in space that could offer clues about the future of Earth. The structure, which was found inside the Ring Nebula - a famous, colourful cloud formed when a dying sun-like star released its outer layers - was roughly 500 times wider than Pluto's orbit and sits 2,

MIT researchers report that astronauts’ brain positions change in microgravity, based on MRI scans from space missions

More information about a mysterious, energetic burst, formally known as a gamma-ray burst (GRB), spotted in space 13 billion light-years away from Earth, has been unveiled. The first sighting of this powerful GRB was in March 2025 by the Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) satellite.
