Scientists have grown plants in soil from the Moon, a first in human history and a milestone in lunar and space exploration.

Researchers have demonstrated Alfvén waves accelerating electrons under conditions that correspond to Earth’s magnetosphere.

Hydrogen and oxygen escaping from Earth’s upper atmosphere and combining on the moon could be one of the sources of the known lunar water.

Using new analyses, scientists found the last two of the five informational units of DNA and RNA that had yet to be discovered in meteorites

Scientists can make some pretty accurate forecasts about the future, but predicting what the Earth will be like in 500 years is difficult.

Earth-based telescopes that look that far back to the big bang (BB) 13.8 billion years ago are unable to resolve the relevant details.

The ambitious project aims to preserve humankind – and animal-kind, plant-kind and fungi-kind – in the event of a global crisis.

NASA flight surgeon Dr. Josef Schmid, Fernando De La Pena Llaca and their teams were the first humans “holoported” from Earth into space.

NASA has more than 20 Earth-observing satellites that give researchers a global perspective on the interconnected Earth system.

As a planet grows, it accumulates material from its surroundings, so its composition reflects the environment in which it formed.

Researchers have helped unravel the enduring mystery of the origins of the Earth’s water, finding the Sun to be a surprising likely source.

Research conducted aboard the International Space Station is helping scientists answer questions about the formation of the universe

The Moon’s exact position is known with an error of at most one centimeter, thanks to the use of lasers sent from different observatories.

Earth is believed to have formed partly from carbonaceous meteorites, which are thought to come from outer main-belt asteroids.

The asteroid which killed nearly all of the dinosaurs struck Earth during springtime according to an international team of researchers.

Astronomers have used a new technique to confirm a real-life Tatooine, the fictional planet with two suns that was home to Luke Skywalker.

MUSE and HelioSwarm will help improve our understanding of the dynamics of the Sun-Earth connection, and the changing space environment.

Earth's core is characterized by extremely high pressure and temperature. It is composed of a liquid outer core and solid inner core.

A state-of-the-art asteroid alert system can scan the entire dark sky every 24 hours for dangerous bodies that could plummet toward Earth.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.
