In the Americas alone more than one billion people in 35 countries could bear witness to the total lunar eclipse that played out overhead from late night Thursday to the early hours of Friday. Tens of millions more in New Zealand and parts of Africa, Europe, and Russia could take in the sky show too. The performance was the result of the orbit of the Earth carrying it between the sun and the m

The moon will put on quite the show tonight; we've got everything to make sure you don't miss all the total lunar eclipse action.

Get ready for March's full "Blood Worm Moon ," a phenomenon that will make the moon appear red during a total lunar eclipse. The full moon reaches peak illumination at 2:55 a.m. ET on Friday, March 14. The total lunar eclipse will make the moon appear red on Thursday, March 13 into the following day, depending on the time zone, according to NASA. This eclipse will be visible from Earth's Wester

A dramatic total lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood red for millions across North America overnight on March 13-14. Here are the best times to watch the show unfold.

A visualization of the eclipse. (NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio/Ernie Wright/YouTube) When the moon gets spooky on Thursday night, don't panic. It's not an omen, it's just an eclipse. Earth will cast its shadow across the moon, turning its surface red as our planet, our moon, and our sun align. That's why total lunar eclipses are sometimes called the " blood moon."

NASA’s Cassini probe is plunging to its death. The nuclear-powered spacecraft has orbited Saturn for 13 years, and sent back hundreds of thousands of images. The photos include close-ups of the gaseous giant, its famous rings, and its enigmatic moons – including Titan, which has its own atmosphere, and icy Enceladus, which has a subsurface ocean that could conceivably harbour microbial life.

Observers across most of the United States will have front-row seats to the spectacular total lunar eclipse overnight on March 13-14. Here's what to expect.

It marks the second failure this year for Elon Musk's SpaceX Mars program... Elon Musk's SpaceX spacecraft was captured on camera exploding and falling back down to Earth in its second failed attempt this year to deploy mock satellites. Sadly, it wasn't second time lucky this year for SpaceX's Starship spacecraft which - not even 10 minutes after taking off from Starbase in Texas yesterday

New data dramatically shrank the odds that this asteroid will hit Earth, but astronomers will continue to study it. Here’s what you need to know. The asteroid 2024 YR4 (like the one shown in this artist’s concept) are dim in visible light, but the infrared light it gives off means the James Webb Space Telescope will be a powerful tool to study it.
