The capability for attacking satellites in space using cyber technology is advancing fast

Destroying satellites in space can lead to cascades that are hard to predict.

Researchers are developing smart, robot-built sandbag shelters for NASA astronauts on the moon inspired by termite mounds.

Russia isn’t likely to put nuclear missiles in space, but their reported anti-satellite weapon is just as alarming. An expert on nuclear strategy explains.

Asteroids hitting Earth may have caused "Snowball Earth" periods where ice covered the planet's surface for thousands or millions of years.

The observation could fill in gaps in our knowledge about planet formation.

Spaceplanes seemed out of favour when the shuttle was retired in 2011; they now seem to be making a comeback.

"This could completely shake up our understanding of how galaxies form," says Joseph Silk.

While NASA rovers on the surface of Mars look for hints of life, researchers back on Earth are studying ‘echoes of life’ from ancient basins – hoping that the two sites might be similar.
