The same precision sensor that kept Webb locked on galaxies 13 billion light-years away has been quietly miniaturized — and it’s about to solve the navigation problem nobody wanted to discuss on the way to the Moon

Voyager 2 flew past Neptune in 1989 and detected faint hints of auroras it couldn’t explain — because the magnetic field is tilted 47 degrees off the rotation axis and the auroras were glowing in entirely the wrong place

Voyager 1’s signal now takes more than 23 hours to reach Earth, and by the time NASA receives the next status check the spacecraft will already be 1.5 million kilometres further into interstellar space

SpaceX's Starship V3 megarocket will do something completely new on Flight 12 — take a good look at itself

Astronomers get the best look yet at the surface of an exoplanet

A 3,700-mile wall of acid clouds has been racing around Venus for decades, and scientists say the answer may be kitchen-sink physics scaled up to planetary size

The Sun is not standing still. It is carrying the entire Solar System around the centre of the Milky Way, and one lap takes roughly 230 million years. The last time we were this far around the galaxy, Earth was in the Triassic Period and the very first dinosaurs were only just beginning to walk.

SpaceX launches its 50th mission of the year, sends 25 Starlink satellites to orbit (video)

The icy surface of Europa is constantly crystallising and reforming in different places at different rates and the James Webb Space Telescope has only just caught it happening

In 1999, NASA lost a $125 million Mars spacecraft because of a metric-versus-imperial mix-up — the kind of conversion mistake most of us have made, only this one ended with a probe disappearing into the Martian atmosphere
