The European Space Agency's project "A Sign in Space" revealed that citizen scientists could be vital in deciphering signals from extraterrestrials.

Samsonite tested the durability of its Proxis Global Carry-on Spinner by launching it 40 kilometers into space, documenting the impressive descent back to Earth.

The interruption began when communications with Voyager 1 ceased completely on October 19. Antennas around the world had not received any signals, leading engineers to realize there was an issue.

Black holes have previously been spotted orbiting with one other star or one other black hole in what are called binary systems.

The spacecraft will be NASA's first dedicated to studying a distant ice-covered moon in our solar system to determine whether it could be habitable for life. 

Those names may not mean anything to the layperson, but diehard fans will recognize them as being references to some of the most famous characters in science fiction.

Before using NASA's JWST telescope, studying galaxy growth at such an early stage in the universe was impossible.

It is the largest spacecraft NASA has built for a planetary mission, at about 100 feet (30.5 meters) long and about 58 feet (17.6 meters) wide with its antennas and solar arrays fully deployed.
