Odysseus, a tenacious lander built by the company Intuitive Machines, almost didn't make it to the moon. But an experiment aboard the spacecraft managed to capture an image of Earth as it might look to observers on a planet far from our own.
A team of industry partners and Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder researchers, including the lab of Hanspeter Schaub, is trying to make it easier to dock with satellites orbiting Earth.
In 1612, astronomer Galileo Galilei observed dark splotches can sunspots moving across the face of the sun. A new study could reveal the engine that drives these cloudy features, and much of the sun's volatile activity.
The Committee on Space Research has for the first time designated Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics a center of excellence for capacity-building in CubeSat technologies.
Khosro Ghobadi-Far is advancing the science of climate change with orbiting satellites through an $800,000 NASA grant.
In results reported in a new paper, graduate student Tatsuya Akiba with JILA Fellow and Professor Ann-Marie Madigan and undergraduate student Selah McIntyre believe they’ve found a reason why these stellar zombies eat their nearby planetesimals.
Billions of years ago, Venus may have held as much water as Earth. Now, it harbors 100,000 times less water than our planet. A new study from planetary scientists at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) dives into how that water disappeared.
Nearly 3,000 light-years away, two stars dancing around each other are about to put on a beautiful show for people on Earth. Astrophysicist David Wilson gives his take on why this is an event you don't want to miss.
A team of researchers from LASP and the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ School of Mines has developed an innovative, award-winning idea for a lunar service station, where lunar rovers and mining machines could charge their batteries and clean the dust off their surfaces.
On April 8, parts of the United States will witness a total solar eclipse. Solar scientist Jimmy Negus gives his take on why this will be a can’t-miss event and how to enjoy an eclipse without damaging your eyes.
