This artist's rendering illustrates new findings about a star shredded by a black hole. When a star wanders too close to a black hole, intense tidal forces rip the star apart. In these events, called "tidal disruptions," some of the stellar debris is flung outward at high speed while the rest falls toward the black hole. This causes a distinct X-ray flare that can last for a few years. NASA's Chandra X-r

A new Earth science mission, led by NASA and the French space agency Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES), will help communities plan for a better future by surveying the planet's salt and freshwater bodies

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is filling sample tubes with rocky material on the Red Planet as the agency works on the next steps to get them safely back to Earth.

A new Earth science mission, led by NASA and the French space agency Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES), will help communities plan for a better future by surveying the planet's salt and freshwater bodies. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will measure the height of water in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the oceans.
