NASA's newest space telescope has blasted off on a quest to find planets around other stars and explore the hidden universe. SpaceX launched the $4 billion Roman Space Telescope on Sunday from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. Roman blazed toward an observation point 1 million miles away that's home to the Webb Space Telescope, one of NASA's other crown jewels in the sky.

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launches Aug. 30 on a mission to explore some of the most pressing mysteries of the cosmos.

On "The Florida Roundup," NASA's Jeremy Perkins talked about the goal of the telescope before its launch at the end of the month.

Scientists say they're certain that a SpaceX rocket has slammed into the moon as predicted. While no one observed the actual impact, a telescope in Chile spotted what astronomers have identified as the debris plume resulting from the high-speed crash. The leftover rocket segment plowed into the moon Wednesday after drifting off course for the past year.

Luke Delaney is serving as the pilot for NASA's Crew-13 mission, which will take him and three others to the International Space Station in SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule.

Astronomers have discovered a faint new world orbiting a young star after more than a decade of cosmic hide-and-seek.

NASA has named the crew of the Artemis III mission that the agency is calling "one of the most highly complex missions NASA has undertaken."

An explosion Thursday destroyed the company's New Glenn rocket and caused significant damage to its launch pad at Cape Canaveral.

A rocket belonging to Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has exploded during a test at the launch pad. Thursday night's blast was felt in nearby Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach, Florida, and briefly turned the sky orange.

Ahead of a much anticipated IPO, SpaceX is carrying out a critical test of its giant, stainless steel rocket. Investors will be watching closely.

The four astronauts spent more than nine days in the Orion space capsule on their journey, testing the vehicle for future missions and taking observations of the far side of the moon. It took them farther than any humans have ever traveled in space.

The Artemis II astronauts are on a course back to Earth after flying by the moon Monday, witnessing a solar eclipse, and breaking a distance record set by NASA's Apollo 13 astronauts.
