The Latest Breaking News from NASA

Avi Loeb breaks down the statistical anomalies of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, arguing that its precise orbit and composition suggest it may be an artificial probe intending to release technological devices at Jupiter.

Every year, companies and space agencies launch hundreds of rockets into space – and that number is set to grow dramatically with ambitious missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. But these dreams hinge on one critical challenge: propulsion – the methods used to push rockets and spacecraft forward.

Nasa astronaut Zena Cardman filmed the glow of the Northern Lights - or aurora borealis - from above on the 17 November.

The name '3I/ATLAS' is the only detail scientists agree on. From Elon Musk's warnings to Avi Loeb's Jupiter theory, discover why this interstellar visitor is baffling the world.

Avi Loeb identifies a 13th anomaly suggesting interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is targeting Jupiter. Explore the evidence for the 'alien probe' hypothesis versus NASA's natural explanation ahead of the December flyby.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover recently came across an odd rock, dubbed "Phippsaksla," that is unlike anything else the robot has found on the Red Planet. It turns out that it probably isn't from our neighboring world and likely crashed on Mars instead.

NASA's SOFIA observatory captured a rare image of a glowing gas ring in Cygnus X — a vast star-forming region 4,500 light-years away.

The space agency maintains the object is natural despite Harvard physicist Avi Loeb's claims regarding anomalous jet trajectories observed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
