By 2016, China could be a force to reckon with as far as space exploration is concerned. The country’s five year space program, which was revealed Thursday, includes the launching of space laboratories, manned spaceships and ship freighters, while making preparations for the construction of space stations.

Russian officials have given up any hope to save the Phobos Grunt mission and have instead shifted their attention to the re-entry of the vehicle sometime next week.

After two failed predictions on the end of the world, “doomsday” minister Harold Camping is “not predicting any new dates for the end of the world,” according to Family Radio spokesperson.

Construction of the world’s largest telescope, the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), will finally push through with the approval of the funding for the project, according to the European Southern Observatory.

After suffering a setback when a rocket crashed early last week, Russia was able to recover with the successful launching of a Soyuz rocket with six communications satellites into orbit on Dec. 28.

Russia’s doomed Phobos Grunt mission to Mar’s moon is confirmed to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere in January, but where will it fall?

The “alien-esque” looking metallic ball that fell from the sky and was discovered mid-November in a remote grassland in Namibia is not so mysterious after all.

A new chapter in ocean exploration will soon begin with the use of futuristic robots, the sensorbots, which are equipped with biogeochemical sensors.

2011 was a memorable year as far as space exploration is concerned, but 2012 also promises to be as exciting. Even with the end of NASA’s space shuttle program, there are other space projects that will be highly anticipated by space enthusiasts.

Two spacecrafts are set to enter orbit around Earth’s moon over the New Year’s weekend, in the latest lunar mission to measure the uneven gravity field and determine what lies beneath the moon’ core.

Researchers said that the public, using close-up photographs of the moon from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, should be allowed to participate in the search for alien life in the moon.

Australians can learn from traditional Eastern values to keep their marriages happier and and families intact.

The rapid pace of exoplanet discoveries suggests that the first Earth twin will be found relatively soon, according to researchers, adding that the first true “alien Earth” could be found in 2012.

Pluto’s surface could contain complex hydrocarbon and nitrile molecules which may be responsible for giving the planet its ruddy color, according to the findings of Hubble Space Telescope’s Cosmic Origins Spectrograph.

Research findings show that a second temporary moon is the norm in our planet, noting that what looked like a spent rocket stage which was seen orbiting the Earth in 2006 was in fact asteroid 2006 RH120, a natural satellite like the moon.

A “space ball” measuring 35 centimeters (14 inches) in diameter and weighing six kilograms (13 pounds) has been discovered mid-November in a remote grassland in Namibia, prompting authorities to contact NASA and European Space Agency.

CERN physicists made its first new particle discovery at the Large Hadron Collider, known as Chi_b (3P), that will help scientists better understand the forces that hold matter together.

DARPA, Pentagon’s research arm, has described its dream military space telescope that could gather intelligence anywhere in the world, doing away with the need for spy planes or drones.

A new study finds that limiting food intake can activate genes linked to longevity and brain function, which could lead to new treatments to extend life, improve memory and reduce risk of dementia.

NASA’s ongoing “Smart SPHERES” experiment has demonstrated how a smartphone controller can serve as remotely operated assistant after it successfully transmitted motion data gathered by a free-flying robot on the International Space Station to its astronaut handler.

Researchers hope to assess the potential impact of global warming on marine ecosystems by examining tiny worms that inhabit the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

ET watchers may be able to find an alien world through telescopes that may spot artificial lightings “out there.”

A new study has bolstered the medical use of maggots in cleaning wounds by removing dead and unhealthy tissues.

Findings of a new study showed that, contrary to long ago assumptions that destruction of giant volcanoes along subduction zones could add to earthquake risks, the opposite could be true.

Science can possibly predict if a song will likely “make it” in the hit chart by using a state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, research shows.

Scientists have found clues on the formation of the mysterious Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains, also known as “ghost mountains, that is buried deep beneath the ice sheet surrounding Dome Argus, the highest ice feature in Antartica.
