The Hayabusa2 spacecraft fired a bullet into an asteroid and Neptune officially has 14 moons!

Caitlin Hofmeister walks you through NASA's planned Asteroid Retrieval Mission, which aims to capture a space-rock and put it in lunar orbit for study -- all by 2025!

Researchers think they may have found a new way to study planets after they've been "buried" in a star! Astronomers are also officially acknowledging the discovery of a distant body with a thousand-year orbit and an adorable nickname.

It seems the more we learn about black holes, the more there is to find out. In this case, what in the universe could have put one on its side?

This year, scientists have had a chance to study something pretty mind-boggling: a comet that came from outside of our solar system.

New Horizons is on its way to Ultima Thule, the most distant object a spacecraft has ever visited. And scientists have created the sugar component of DNA under extraterrestrial conditions.

In this episode of SciShow Space News, Hank details the work of the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft. He also explains the new discoveries of Jupiter's moon Io.

In October 2017, astrobiologist Karen J. Meech got the call every astronomer waits for: NASA had spotted the very first visitor from another star system. The interstellar comet -- a half-mile-long object eventually named `Oumuamua, from...

Tidally locked planets could be more common than Earth-like planets! And these 'eyeball planets' might even be a promising place to look for unique lifeforms!

The ESA Hipparcos team worked for 20 years on the project, then had to watch as the mission ALMOST failed! But somehow, they turned it around, and today, this little-known mission has totally transformed what we know about space.

Akatsuki missed Venus once, but with a little ingenuity and its secondary engines, it's heading back on December 7th!

SciShow Space starts the year off with a bang, and the discovery of 8 Earth-like planets, two of which may be the most promising candidates yet for harboring life.

In October, the first mission of the ExoMars program arrived at the Red Planet, and things didn't go exactly as planned. As NASA investigates the crash, the mystery unfolds.

Schiaparelli crashing into Mars wasn't exactly what the Exomars mission scientists were hoping for, but we're still going to get some useful information from the little probe's descent. And scientists have observed two of the brightest...

Asteroid 3200 Phaethon got closer than it will be until 2093, and the reflecting light has astronomers puzzled, and the relationship between black holes and magnetic fields is now a little more clear.

Gardening doesn't need to be a hobby just here on Earth. In fact, it might help life outside of Earth quite a bit to take that pastime to the stars.

This video is about the cycloid curves on Jupiter's moon Europa - they're ridges or valleys...

Scientists are discovering new objects in the solar system all the time. Most of these are small asteroids or icy bodies, but researchers recently spotted something unexpectedly huge heading our way.

For 13 years, the Cassini probe circled Saturn and sent back fascinating data about the seasons of Saturn as it moved through a 29 Earth year Saturnian year.

As earth temperatures continue to rise, what's really to blame?

2020 wasn't ALL bad news. This year scientists found ludicrously fast stars, ancient galaxy clusters, and developed a camera that could change how we study the night sky.

NASA’s Mars 2020 mission has successfully landed on Mars! But it's not alone! This week we discuss not one but three amazing missions to Mars.

SpaceX's Starship launch vehicle has the potential to explore the solar system in a bold, new -- and supersized -- way. Planetary scientist Jennifer Heldmann talks about how reusable, large-scale spacecraft like Starship could help...

Is the equinox really when day = night, or is that a myth?
