The next NASA crew rotation to the International Space Station could launch as early as the morning of February 11, the US space agency said Wednesday. The launch was originally scheduled for February 15 but NASA eyed moving it up after the evacuation of a previous ISS crew. The first launch window opens at 6 am Eastern (1100 GMT), NASA said on social media. Additional windows are on the

Citizens living in remote areas could one day receive specialist medical care without leaving their communities, thanks to advances in telemedicine through satellite communications. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the University of Glasgow have successfully run a remote dental examination using a secure satellite link combined with a rapidly usable 5G network.

The first Starship test flight of 2026 is scheduled for as soon as early March as SpaceX enters a critical year in the vehicle’s development.

A research team has developed a method to reduce uncertainties in measurements of cosmic birefringence, a subtle rotation in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background that may hold clues to new physics beyond the standard model. The work, published January 27 in Physical Review Letters, provides the first quantitative treatment of uncertainty in the birefringence angle, a key observabl

Cosmologists Josh Frieman and Risa Wechsler look back on the Dark Energy Survey, sharing how it is paving the way for the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory to dig deeper into some of the universe's darkest mysteries. As the Dark Energy Survey (DES) releases its final results, we caught up with two physicists who have been involved in the project from its early days. In this Q&A, Josh Friem

Astronomers have carried out the most extensive observational study so far of massive runaway stars in the Milky Way, combining detailed measurements of how fast these stars move, how rapidly they spin, and whether they live alone or in binary systems. Researchers from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC),
