This view from NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows part of “Marathon Valley,” a destination on the western rim of Endeavour Crater, as seen from an overlook north of the valley. Elon Musk dropped some hot comments on the Stephen Colbert show, suggesting nuking Mars and calling it a ‘fixer-upper’ planet, proving his celebrity status by kicking off the show’s second... 

If you thought Star Destroyers were only found in Star Wars flicks, you may be wrong. A photo taken by NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover shows an object that, to some UFO lovers, looks like the same warships seen on the big screen. “I found this anomaly in the latest Curiosity Rover photo. The black object looks like a crashed UFO,” wrote UFO Sightings contributor Scott C. Waring. He added... 

Footage of a glowing light hovering over the International Space Station (ISS) has reignited fears that aliens are keeping their eyes on us. For one conspiracy theorist at least, the video proves that not only are we being watched, but NASA and government officials are deliberately trying to keep us in the dark. The image of the mysterious glowing object was captured on NASA’s own livestream. The... 

NASA photo shows a crop of “Outredgeous” red romaine lettuce from the Veggie plant growth system on the International Space Station. For the first time astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) have eaten fresh food grown in space. The red romaine lettuce, dubbed “space salad” by the station’s occupants, was grown from seeds in zero gravity under special LED lights in a... 

NASA has released spectacular footage of the “dark side” of the moon – fully illuminated – as the Earth’s natural satellite was moving across the sunlit side of our planet. The unique shots were captured by the Deep Space Climate Observatory. Taken by the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), the images show a unique view of our planet and the moon from one million miles away. The capture... 

In this NASA handout photo taken during the Gemini 4 mission on June 3, 1965, Ed White became the first American to conduct a spacewalk. NASA says it is signing a $490-million contract with Russia to fund a program that aims to send Americans to space. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration told American lawmakers in a letter on Wednesday that the move was a result of the Congress failure... 

“Spider”, “Alien”, “John Carter”, “awesome Martian space crab” – these are a few suggestions by social media users who apparently thoroughly studied a recent NASA image of Mars which captured a strange object on the surface of the red planet. The raw image taken by NASA Curiosity somewhere in July was hugely discussed in the Facebook group ‘Journey to the Surface of the Mars’. “Now... 

Artist’s rendition shows one possible appearance for the planet HD 219134b. NASA astronomers have found another exoplanet outside the solar system. It’s larger than Earth and is 21 light-years from our planet. The new planet has been dubbed HD 219134b, and can’t be seen directly even with telescopes, but the star the planet orbits is visible to the human eye in the Cassiopeia constellation,... 

NASA scientists have found the first planet outside of the solar system that could be similar to Earth and capable of sustaining life. Unlike other similarly sized planets, the newly-discovered one lies in a “habitable zone” near a sun-like star. While looking for possibly hospitable planets outside the solar system, the Kepler telescope has recently found a planet some 1,400 light years away,... 

NASA astronomers have found a second mountain range on Pluto. Scientists are puzzled over the distinctive difference with the first mountainous region discovered on the distant planet. The New Horizons mission said the mountains had been found on the lower-left ledge of Pluto’s heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio area. The mountains are from 1 to 1.5 kilometers high and are comparable with the Appalachian... 

A massive alien spacecraft, around the size of the US state of Idaho, has been spotted near the sun by ufologists in recent NASA pictures. They say the object definitely has a structure. The video released by Youtube user Streetcap1 shows the original NASA image of the sun captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) on July 15, 2015. “This UFO is awesome! Every time I try to ask NASA... 

An asteroid believed to be carrying up to 90 million tons of platinum in its core, as well as other rare and precious materials, is about to swoosh past our planet. The news has left developers of asteroid-mining technologies intrigued. The platinum-rich asteroid officially named 2011 UW158, is 452 meters by 1,011 meters in size and will pass Earth at a distance of an estimated 2.4 million kilometers,... 

Pluto’s moon Charon The US space agency has revealed an image of Pluto’s largest moon Charon which has a vast dark area on its north pole. The enigmatic zone was immediately dubbed by Tolkien-inspired scientists as ‘Mordor’. “In Charon’s north polar region, a dark marking prominent in New Horizons’ approach images is now seen to have a diffuse boundary, suggesting it is a thin deposit... 

NASA has joined forces with a nuclear arms agency to learn more about how to deflect, or possibly destroy with nuclear power, asteroids or comets that may collide with Earth and obliterate the planet. Comets and asteroids are the cosmic rubble left over from the birth of the solar system. Composed primarily of dirty ice, comets are often knocked loose from their home orbits beyond Pluto bringing them... 

A cluster of mysterious bright spots on dwarf planet Ceres can be seen in this image. A variety of craters and other geological features can be found on dwarf planet Ceres. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft took this image of Ceres from an altitude of 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers) on June 5, 2015. The mystery surrounding the dwarf planet Ceres continues to thicken: New images taken by the Dawn probe have...
