The U.S. military aims to more systematically classify and characterize reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), officials said during a congressional hearing on Tuesday. Pentagon intelligence officials say there is nothing so far in the reports that suggest anything is outside of terrestrial origins, noting that astrobiologists are among their consultants to preclude extraterrestrial life.
Haunting footage from two timelapse videos show the moon growing dark.
The Super Flower Blood Moon lunar eclipse of May 15 to 16 saw the moon disappearing into the deep shadow of Earth, upon which the refracted light of our atmosphere fell onto the surface. In total phase, that produced an eerie red color.

Boeing's Orbital Flight Test 2 (OFT-2) mission to the International Space Station is poised to launch at 6:54 p.m. EDT (2254 GMT) on Thursday (May 19) from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
OFT-2 will carry more than 500 pounds (225 kilograms) of cargo to the orbital laboratory, at least 440 pounds (200 kg) of which consists of food and supplies for the station's current crew. The remaining payloads were contributed by Boeing and include, among other flight memorabilia, keepsakes such as flags and pins commemorating the United States' historically Black colleges and universities.
U.K. rocket start-up Skyrora claims that Europe's largest-ever rocket launch is being held up by bureaucratic obstacles in Iceland's spaceflight licensing process.
The rocket firm, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, says that their suborbital launcher Skylark L has been prepared to lift-off from a mobile spaceport the company constructed in Husavik, on the northern coast of Iceland, since September 2021. But delays in the licensing process mean the rocket is still waiting to launch.
Blue Origin will fly six people into suborbital space this week on the company's fifth crewed mission.
The flight, known as NS-21, is the 21st flight of the New Shepard vehicle overall (hence the name). Liftoff is set for Friday (May 20) at 9:30 a.m. EDT (1330 GMT) from the company's Launch Site One near Van Horn, Texas, weather permitting.
All the moon-soil plants grew slowly and relatively poorly, but those grown in samples that had been more exposed on the lunar surface tended to do the worst, and genetic analysis showed changes indicative of stress.
The poor growth might be cause for concern: As NASA prepares to send astronauts back to the moon through its Artemis program - and eventually even to Mars - being able to grow food in extraterrestrial soil during long missions will become increasingly important.
Tiny Snake Island has hosted some fierce fighting during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as new satellite photos show.
Maxar Technologies' GeoEye-1 spacecraft has snapped a series of photos of Snake Island, one of which appears to capture a Ukrainian attack on a Russian Serna-class landing craft.
Einstein's theory of special relativity teaches us that time is relative. But what does it mean for time to be relative? How can we live in a universe where nobody can agree on when events start, when they end and how long they last?
The infamous "twin paradox" showcases what living in a truly relativistic world is like.
Hauling to Earth samples of Mars that might contain Red Planet life is deemed a low risk affair in terms of ecological and public safety - but that risk is not zero.
Could returned Mars samples be biological "hot property" that sparks public anxiety about creepy-crawlies from that world chomping away at Earth's biosphere?
