Jupiter and Saturn will merge in the night sky to create a single “Christmas star” Monday, appearing closer to one another than they have since Galileo’s time in the 17th century Astronomers say so-called conjunctions between the two largest planets in our solar system aren’t particularly rare. Jupiter passes its neighbor Saturn in their respective laps around the sun every 20...

NASA says the planetary conjunction known as the ‘Christmas Star,’ which is only seen once every 800 years, will be visible on Monday night.

A phenomenon called the “Christmas Star,” which has not been seen for nearly 800 years, will light up the sky tonight just in time for the holiday season. NASA scientist and astronomer Dr. Kelly Fast joined LX News to explain what it is and how to see it.

This year has already brought several firsts for much of the world, but as 2020 comes to a close, a once-in-a-lifetime sight will appear in the night sky just in time for the holidays.

Four astronauts aboard Crew Dragon are on their way to the International Space Station after an historic launch at Kennedy Space Center. NASA’s Commercial Crew Program “charters” flights to the ISS on a rocket and in a capsule built by SpaceX, a private vendor. Navy Cmdr.

Scientists say the moon’s shadowed, frigid nooks and crannies may hold frozen water in more places and in larger quantities than previously suspected

A trio of space travelers has safely returned to Earth after a six-month mission on the International Space Station

That’s one small scoop for humanity. NASA made history Tuesday after a spacecraft successfully collected samples from the surface of an asteroid during a carefully orchestrated, hourslong maneuver in orbit. After spending nearly two years circling the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft used its robotic arm to gather pieces of the space rock that will subsequently be sent...

The Orionid meteor shower — one of two showers every year caused by Halley’s Comet’s return to the inner atmosphere — is peaking this week. Here’s the best way to see it.

What looks like an asteroid may just be an old rocket from a failed moon-landing mission more than 50 years ago.

NASA’s first new space potty in decades is getting a not-so-dry run at the International Space Station before flying to the moon.

In 1961, President Kennedy vowed to send a man to the moon by the end of the decade and expanded Americans’ ideas about the possibilities of space exploration. How will the 2020 election, and the president it puts in power for the next four years, decide our future in space?
