Trio appeared to get changed shortly before arrival at space station and one said every crew could choose their own suit.

NASA is providing seed money to researchers to develop a number of innovative technologies. One is portable oxygen generation to allow future Mars explorers to breathe without carrying a bulky air supply.

It is one of 17 NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate projects being funded to develop new breakthroughs for both humans and robots.

Famous Dutch bicycle brand, Union, has launched a pop-up installation to replace an ordinary car parking spot in Amsterdam’s poshest shopping street with parking space for eight bicycles.

NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) has published a remarkable video that depicts Earth in ways you’ve probably never seen before.

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken one giant step closer in its mission to unlock the mysteries of the universe.

The world’s premier space observatory has successfully completed a number of steps crucial for aligning its 18 gold mirror segments. Having checked this milestone off of Webb’s list, the telescope team expects that the observatory may even exceed the goals it was meant to achieve.

Webb will be able to peer inside the atmospheres of exoplanets and observe some of the first galaxies created after the universe began by observing them through infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.

The James Webb Space Telescope’s revolutionary technology will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. We’ll present an overview of the telescope, its mission and the some of the science it hopes to reveal. Tune in via our Facebook page for this live virtual presentation presented by Jason T. Archer.
