Russia official warns of "uncontrolled deorbit" of ISS, a beacon of international space science
The International Space Station has become a point of contention as Russia wages war in Ukraine. On February 24, U.S.
What's going on — The sanctions take aim at "cut[ting] off Russia's access to cutting edge technology," according to a White House fact sheet. The measures were announced after Russian forces began a long-anticipated invasion of Ukraine on February 22.
Strangely tilted black hole challenges formation theories | Space
A tilted black hole spinning around a misaligned axis has been discovered in our galaxy, challenging theories of black hole formation.
The black hole and its companion star form a system called MAXI J1820+070, which lies some 10,000 light-years away from Earth. The system was first spotted by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in 2018.
James Webb Space Telescope instrument checkouts on track amid mirror alignment | Space
Several instruments are preparing to help the James Webb Space Telescope with its mirror alignment and future observations, with several key steps achieved in recent days, according to NASA.
The filter wheel for the Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) has been successfully calibrated, allowing this key part of the Fine Guidance System (FGS) to assist with alignment activities, agency officials wrote in a statement posted Thursday (Feb. 24).
NASA's daring Parker Solar Probe spacecraft zips past the sun again today | Space
The Parker Solar Probe is ready to make its 11th close flyby of the sun during its quest to understand how our neighboring star works.
The plucky spacecraft, heavily shielded against the sun's radiation and extreme heat, will dip to within 5.3 million miles (8.5 million kilometers) of the solar surface on Friday (Feb. 25). That's about 14 times closer than the orbit of Mercury, our closest planet to the sun .

Galaxies are huge. Really huge. Our Milky Way galaxy is so huge that it would take light (at 300,000 kilometres per second) would take 100,000 years to travel from one end of the galaxy to the other.
There's a case for Nigeria and South Africa to cooperate on outer space activities
Etim Offiong works with the African Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology Education in English (ARCSSTE-E), Obafemi Awolowo University campus, Ile-Ife. He has interned at South Africa's Department of Science and Technology.
But it has one missing element. That is cooperation on space activities. Cooperation on space between the two countries would advance the efforts of the African Outer Space Programme.
New sky map showcases more than 4 million galaxies, stars and other objects | Space
Millions of new objects have just been cataloged in a vast new sky map that will lead to more investigations about our universe's environment, the discovery team says.
"We anticipate [the survey] will lead to many more scientific breakthroughs in the future," lead author Timothy Shimwell, a researcher at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy and Leiden University, said in a statement .
Uncovering a Lost Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster – Now. Powered by Northrop Grumman
A lost galaxy has been uncovered in a new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. In truth, the galaxy was never really lost — but it was buried in stardust.
“Astronomy is and always will be a technology-limited science,” says Jonathan Arenberg, Chief Engineer for Space Science Missions at Northrop Grumman.
Hubble eyes two stunning galaxies before future James Webb Space Telescope observations | Space
The Hubble Space Telescope continues to scout on behalf of the newly launched James Webb Space Telescope to guide future astronomy work.
A stunning new image released by Hubble officials shows a single example of that collaboration: a pair of galaxies known as Arp 298, interacting 200 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Pegasus.
