Two comets will be visiting our neck of the solar system this week. One of them will be the closest comet to pass Earth since 1983.

Perhaps the only thing more amazing than watching a rocket soar through the sky is watching its engine being put together.

In 2014, the European Space Agency (ESA) did the incredible: it landed a probe on a comet. But this wasn't its first rodeo. Ten years ago, it parked a probe on the hazy, alien moon of Titan.

While enjoying this view, NASA says: '' you need to protect your eyes. Don't stare. Even at maximum eclipse, it can still cause pain and eye damage. Direct viewing should only be attempted with the aid of a safe solar filter."

The visitor center at Johnson Space Center is getting one heck of a new exhibit. Say hello to the Space Shuttle Transporter 747, and eventually the Space Shuttle mock-up Independence.

Talk about a dream job.

Earth, Mars, Neptune – how hard can it possibly be to name a planet? Now’s your chance to find out.

The coolest thing we've ever found behind the house was a cigar box with our dad's stash in it, so this NASA find is pretty exciting.

Even scientists have soul! Take a listen to 'Jewel in the Night,' by Colonel Chris Hadfield.

Mars is in the news these days thanks to the Curiosity rover which recently landed on the red planet. The goal of the six-wheeled robot is to find signs of life on Mars, and NASA also hopes that its 23 month mission will increase public awareness of the space program. But will it rekindle interest in sending a manned mission to Mars?

With the help of a cool mohawk-wielding mission controller, NASA was able to successfully navigate the Curiosity rover onto Mars. NASA’s been to Mars before, but this trip is making history.

After an eight month journey, NASA’s multi-billion dollar rover Curiosity made a successful landing on Mars early this morning. Mission controllers cheered after the six-wheeled, one-ton machine made a perilous seven-minute landing involving a parachute, rocket pack and sky crane.
