Astronomers have identified a tightly bound pair of stars that are spiraling toward a catastrophic merger, turning a distant ...

Beyond Gravity (formerly RUAG Space) delivered a geostationary navigation receiver, called GEORIX, and an antenna to Maxar in 2021. The receiver precisely determines a satellite’s position in orbit.

November 03, 2025 - Recent successes in low-orbit manufacturing ("LOM") — the process of building or growing products aboard satellites or space stations orbiting Earth — corroborate its ...

The two stars in the nearby system ZTF J2130 are spiraling toward a catastrophic supernova. In the meantime, scientists are ...

ORBIT is a gravity simulator at the heart of a puzzle game. Launch planets with a flick of your hand, and try to get them into stable orbits around black holes. Create your own levels in the Sandbox, ...

Earth will be hosting a new guest this fall. No, it's not an alien. It's an asteroid. The space rock, which has been named “2024 PT5,” has been traveling along its normal path around the sun, but will ...

In a rare astronomical event, Earth is set to capture a temporary moon between September 29 and November 25. The new addition, designated as 2024 PT₅, is an asteroid originating from the Arjuna ...

Researchers present strong evidence for a planet circling two brown dwarfs on a near polar path. The orbit is tilted almost 90 degrees to the pair’s motion. The system lies about 120 light-years from ...
