"Finding a temperate planet in such a compact system makes this discovery particularly exciting. It highlights the remarkable diversity of exoplanetary systems and strengthens the case for studying potentially habitable worlds around low-mass stars."

The twin spacecraft are part of the NASA-funded TRACERS mission, which will spend at least a year measuring plasma conditions in narrow regions of Earth's magnetic field known as polar cusps.

NASA was able to resolve a malfunction in the JunoCam on the Juno spacecraft by using remote hardware hacking techniques, including a process called annealing.

NASA announced that Makenzie Lystrup will leave her post as director of the Goddard Space Flight Center on Friday, August 1. Lystrup has held the top job at Goddard since April 2023, overseeing a staff of more than 8,000 civil servants and contractor employees, and a budget last year of about $4.7 billion.

The parachute test involved dropping a dummy ExoMars descent module from an altitude of almost 30 km, and the parachutes were successfully deployed.

"I would say I'm cautiously optimistic, but that probably overstates how I'm feeling." Dr. John Grunsfeld reflects on the budget cuts to NASA's science funding.

NASA is really interested in how our bodies react to long-duration space flight. So, we do a lot of tests, such as measuring our blood pressure or seeing what our organs are doing with ultrasound.

A massive explosion of solar plasma erupted from the sun, caught by NASA satellites, showcasing a dramatic burst large enough to stretch across 30 Earths.

On July 3, NASA put out a statement that said, "All preexisting reports will be hosted on the NASA website, ensuring continuity of reporting."

When Calle stepped away, the decision was made to repurpose the work of Bob McCall, an artist who had designed the Apollo 17 mission patch and in 1974 had painted the scene of the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft nearing a docking.

NASA has discovered a mysterious 'super-Earth' planet, TOI-1846 b, which is almost twice the size of Earth, located 154 light-years away. Its discovery involves repeated signals from a red dwarf star.

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was detected by the NASA-funded ATLAS survey telescope on July 1 while traveling at 137,000 miles per hour from another star system.

"This is catastrophic for space science and astrophysics," decried theoretical physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein. "Globally catastrophic, not just for Americans."

Sean Duffy's appointment as interim NASA Administrator reflects the Trump administration's focus on political loyalty, despite Duffy's lack of experience in space affairs.

In April, scientists announced that they had used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to find a potential signature of alien life in the glow of a distant planet.

This is a tremendous step forward and a tremendous opportunity. And if the public is excited about it, the astronomers are twice as excited. It's a really big deal.

NASA+ features live mission coverage and original shows, showcasing the behind-the-scenes efforts of scientists and engineers, making it an ad-free and no-cost streaming service.

Microsoft Ireland Operations faces a class action over alleged unlawful processing of personal data for advertising, brought by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

NASA has extended recovery efforts for its stricken Lunar Trailblazer spacecraft to mid-July, warning that if the probe remains silent, the mission could end.
