Scientists have discovered a huge hole in the ozone layer above the Artic roughly five times the size of Germany, allowing harmful ultraviolet radiation to hit parts of Canada, Russia and Europe this spring.

British Astronomers Develop New Giant Telescope to Hunt For Life on Other Galaxies

NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, the first to achieve orbit around Mercury, has provided scientists with further important information about the planet, by revealing data that showed signs of widespread flood volcanism similar to Earth, provided clearer views of Mercury's surface, provided the first measurements of its elemental composition, and details about charged particles near the planet.

China is set to make a giant leap forward in its space program, when a space laboratory named Tiangong-1 will be launched into orbit this afternoon, atop a Long March 2F rocket.

After the "Running Chicken" nebula, comes a cosmic "Fried Egg Nebula" as the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, spotted a monster star also called a yellow hypergiant.

NASA has finally revealed where the UARS satellite landed when it fell back into Earth last Friday - in the Pacific Ocean just 300 miles away from Christmas Island.

U.S. weather space experts have confirmed that the Earth was hit a "glancing blow" by a solar storm created by a massive sun spot on Tuesday.

China will take its first step to having its own space station tomorrow, as it prepares to launch the Tiangong-1, or "Heavenly Palace" space laboratory.

While much has been said about China's determination to expand and modernize its military material, the Asian giant is also focused on developing its space programme and is about to launch its first space lab module, an unmanned prototype for a future space station, which could lead to a space race between Beijing and Washington.

Predicting increased risks to air travelers from solar activity, NASA is developing a system to predict radiation entering Earth's atmosphere from space.

A sunspot over 60,000 miles in diameter is shooting out huge solar flares that could potentially blow the circuits of every electrical product on earth.

The particles that some physicists think have travelled faster than light are going to be put to the test by a U.S. government agency; it hopes to disprove the findings, which defy accepted physics and hint at the possibility of time travel.

Will We Ever Know Where NASA Satellite Really Fell? One thing is for sure. A dead NASA Climate satellite definitely fell back to Earth early Saturday morning but NASA seem not have an idea as to where it landed and exactly where it has gone. Can NASA really have lost a satellite?

The need for faster broadband is not only felt here on Earth, but NASA has found that its current 6Mbps connection with Mars is just too slow, and has been trialling laser-powered 100Mbps broadband.

The NASA climate research satellite that plunged to earth on Saturday still hasn't been found according to U.S. space officials.

NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), the space agency's largest defunct six-ton satellite the size of a bus is heading towards earth and is expected to crash within the next 24 hours, an while it is yet unknown where the space debris will fall, NASA admits the odds of Uars debris striking a person is about one in 3,200.

NASA's six-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, has been slowly tumbling from orbit since its mission ended in 2005, and is now expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and break apart on Friday, leaving scientists to try and find out where the debris will fall.

Nasa's six and a half ton satellite expected to hit earth on friday.

Scientists at CERN believe they have clocked subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light, invalidating a tenet of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

A NASA defunct six-ton satellite the size of a bus is heading towards earth and is expected to crash within the next 24 hours, but experts have no idea where it will land as its orbit is slowly decaying until gravity finally pulls it down as a fiery meteor.

A defunct NASA satellite the size of a bus is set to plunge through the Earth's atmosphere sometime this weekend, with officials still uncertain exactly where it is going to land.

NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has uncovered data suggesting the family of asteroids thought to be responsible for the dinosaurs' extinction 65 million years ago may not have been the culprit.

An archaic NASA satellite the size of a bus is set to descend into the Earth's atmosphere this weekend, according to officials at NASA.

The launch of NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) carrying delta 2 rocket has been postponed by one day.

A new study defies Hollywood's most extravagant sci-fi film scenarios by suggesting thousands of "time bombs" could be scattered throughout our galaxy after a study shows that some old stars, known as white dwarfs might be held up by their rapid spins, and when they slow down, they explode as type Ia supernovae.

Scientists have discovered a very bright supernova that is visible with a pair of binoculars and astronomy enthusiasts have a wonderful opportunity to catch a glimpse of the dying star at its brightest peak on 9 September as it is the closest supernova of its type in 30 years to be discovered in the sky recently.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured three new high-definition images of the Apollo moon landing sites.

The European Space Agency's Mars Express has captured fresh images of the planet's surface indicating the existence of a massive lake in the red planet's past.

While exploring the recently reached Endeavour crater NASA's Mars rover Opportunity has discovered new evidence suggesting the Red Planet once contained water, one of the essential building blocks of life.
