Coastal communities, from the Jersey Shore to Miami to Southern California, are likely to see a dramatic surge in high-tide floods starting in the mid 2030s as rising sea levels due to climate change align with natural shifts in the moon’s orbit, a new NASA study warns.

Coastal cities across the U.S. are likely to see high-tide floods starting in the mid 2030s as rising sea levels align with a cyclical “wobble” in the moon’s orbit.

This modeled visualization of the moon’s orbit patterns over the course of a month shows the “moon wobble” as it makes its elliptical orbit.

Venus and Mars will appear close together, something frequent stargazers might have noticed happening gradually during July. On Monday night and into the early hours, the two planets will be at their closest distance to one another.

The selfie NASA’s Perseverance rover took on the surface of Mars on April 6 was actually 62 images stitched together by JPL scientists to look like one. The process involved over a dozen people and took about a week to code.

A “strawberry moon” will rise on Thursday, June 24th. Here’s what you need to know.

Dozens of baby squid from Hawaii are in space for study that could help solve health problems that astronauts face.

Spacewalking astronauts have installed a powerful new solar panel outside the International Space Station

This marks the 240th spacewalk in support of assembling, maintaining, and upgrading the International Space Station.

Spacesuit problems have prevented astronauts from completing the installation of powerful, new solar panels outside the International Space Station

The National Reconnaissance Office successfully launched three national security satellites aboard Northrop Grumman’s Minotaur 1 rocket on Tuesday.

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, suggested at a Congressional hearing that climate change could be combatted by altering the orbit of the moon, and asked an official from the U.S. Forest Service if there was anything her agency could do to do so. Gohmert made the comments on Tuesday during a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on four pending bills, while he was...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew closer to Jupiter’s moon Ganymede than any other probe has in over 20 years, when the Galileo mission flew by. Now, JPL has release two photos of the moon.

The wayward object punctured a hole in Canadarm2’s protective thermal covering, but the robotic arm remains functional.

NASA has released a stunning new picture of our galaxy’s violent, super-energized “downtown.”

SpaceX has a spaceport in Boca Chica, an unincorporated community in Cameron County, Texas. Some residents still live there while the company is trying to buy them out of their homes – but a newly created spaceport development corporation could use the power of eminent domain to seize those homes instead, says Sara Bronin of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

President Joe Biden says he’s doubling U.S. emergency spending to help communities prepare for hurricanes and other extreme weather events

Watch out for September 24, 2187: if the asteroid called Bennu is going to collide with Earth, that’s when it’s going to happen. In the meantime, a team of scientists sent a lander to the asteroid to collect samples. Determining what the asteroid is made of can help track its trajectory, and also provide insight into the beginnings of...

A NASA spacecraft is headed back to Earth with rubble it collected from an asteroid nearly 200 million miles away.
