"Awards like these are a critical component of our incubator program for future missions, which combines government leadership with commercial innovation to make what is impossible today rapidly implementable in the future," said Shawn Domagal-Goldman, director of NASA's Astrophysics Division in the statement.

NASA has taken a bold step in the search for alien life beyond Earth. The space agency announced the selection of seven advanced technology partners for its next major mission, the Habitable Worlds Observatory.

NASA has selected advanced technologies to power a future space telescope designed to image Earth-like planets and search their atmospheres for potential signs of life beyond our solar system.

NASA’s Pandora mission will study exoplanet atmospheres by separating star light from planet signals, helping scientists learn which distant worlds may have air, water, and signs of life

Scientists have found new evidence suggesting that interstellar 3I/ATLAS is not an alien spaceship, as one conspiracy theory claims, but a comet.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large space telescope which collects light at infrared wavelengths. It has been used to probe the atmospheres of a variety of exoplanets.

Three decades ago, in 1995, humankind discovered the first planet beyond the borders of our solar system. It's called 51 Pegasi b, and it spins around its main-sequence star (meaning not unlike our own Sun) at a distance of 50 light-years from our planet ...

ADVANCED alien civilisations might be talking to each other across the vast reaches of space using a “firefly” technique. That’s according to scientists who reckon spotting
