In the photo from the space station, the comet is captured just above Earth’s horizon, which is illuminated by a bright light — also known as airglow — that occurs in the planet’s upper atmosphere when atoms and molecules emit light after being excited by sunlight.

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are waiting for their new ride back to Earth via SpaceX’s Crew Dragon this spring.

One of the two astronauts stranded at the International Space Station (ISS) has taken their first space walk since arriving at the station nearly seven months ago.

People often look at the stars from Earth, but astronauts get to at Earth from the stars. The crew on the International Space station use their cameras to show off the world from 260 miles above. Buzz60’s Keri Lumm has more.

One of the many advantages of being in space is having a front-row seat to the most anticipated cosmic events.

Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore launched aboard Boeing's new Starliner capsule last June on what should have been a weeklong test flight. They've been in space ever since.

The world's first wooden satellite has officially been deployed. Built by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the timber-clad device hitched a ride on a SpaceX mission which brought it to the International Space Station last November.

As one of NASA's trapped astronauts stepped outside the space station for the first time since arriving in June, many social media users were shocked to realise they were still trapped in space.
