The Psyche spacecraft is on a six-year journey to reach a metal-rich asteroid by the same name. Well into its voyage, the probe looked back at its home planet and captured a rare view of Earth, accompanied by its Moon, as a mere speck engulfed by the dark void of space.

The new image, which shows Earth along with an even smaller point of light coming from the moon, harkens back to Carl Sagan's famous Pale Blue Dot image, a shot the Voyager 1 spacecraft took in 1990 on its way out of the solar system. That historic photo has come to represent the vastness of space and humanity's humble place within it.

Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy has directed the agency to fast-track plans to put a nuclear reactor on the moon.

NASA’s Artemis campaign is a bold series of missions to take humans back to the moon, and those astronauts will get there thanks to help from rocket engines mad

In a bold, strategic move for the U.S., acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy announced plans on August 5 to build a nuclear fission reactor for deployment on the lunar surface in 2030. Doing so would allow the United States to gain a foothold on the moon by the time China plans to land the first taikonaut,

NASA's received marching orders to develop and build a nuclear reactor on the moon by the mid-2030s. The reason? The United States is now in a renewed space race with Russia and China to build a power source on the moon and claim our stake on the lunar ...

The "black moon," a rare phenomenon that occurs during a new moon phase of the lunar cycle, will occur this weekend. But don't get your hopes up too much, scientists say, because it will be technically invisible. Here's what to know.

In their report, Lal and Myers estimate it would cost about $800 million annually for five years to build and deploy a nuclear reactor on the Moon. Even if DoE support can prevent NASA's staffing cuts from kneecapping the project, its feasibility will hinge on if the Trump administration ponies up the cash to execute on its own bold claims.

Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy says it's time for the agency to focus on the moon and Mars, not the "smorgasbord of priorities," like climate science, the agency has been directing its resources.
