SpaceX launched the Psyche spacecraft on Friday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft is named for the metal-rich asteroid it's chasing, which scientists believe is the battered remains of an early planet's iron core.

NASA has a slim window to launch the robotic spacecraft to the asteroid belt, where it will study the 170-mile wide asteroid Psyche.

NASA's Frank Rubio breaks the U.S. record for longest single mission in space, spending more than a year living and working on the International Space Station.

NASA is releasing a new report from advisers on what it would take for the agency to study unidentified anomalous phenomena (also known as UFOs) scientifically.

A NASA mission to the asteroid Psyche could shine light on the history of planetary formation.

The four-member crew — three astronauts and a cosmonaut — launched in March and conducted more than 200 experiments. They also performed spacewalks and did maintenance on the orbiting outpost.

NASA's Crew-7 mission will now spend about six months living and working on the International Space Station.

The crew of four will have to wait at least another day before another launch attempt. The reason for the scrub was not announced.

While space enthusiasts show up in the thousands along Florida's Space Coast, it's hardly the only place on Earth hosting excitement for space exploration.

The four astronauts assigned to fly around the moon next year have gotten their first look at their spacecraft.

Last month was the warmest June on record.

It shows 50 baby stars around 390 light-years away. One light-year is nearly 6 trillion miles.
