Four experiments supported by BioServe Space Technologies blasted off en route to the International Space Station this week.

CU Boulder researchers are playing an important role in a NASA mission to grab a piece of an asteroid and return it to Earth.

Two CubeSats designed by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) will launch later this month to investigate the physics of the sun and its impact on life on Earth.

Researchers have uncovered the chain of events that caused more than two dozen sea mines to suddenly—and without explanation—explode in the water off the coast of North Vietnam.

Researchers reflect on the legacy of Kepler, a telescope that located thousands of planets beyond Earth's solar system.

Kepler, which is operated by CU Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), discovered more than 2,600 planets during its nine years in space.

Ann-Marie Madigan has been named a 2018 Packard Fellow, an award that comes with a no-strings-attached grant of $875,000.

Scientists have successfully collected dust raining down from Saturn's rings onto the planet's upper atmosphere.

CU Boulder researchers have proposed a new satellite that would orbit the moon to seek out signals from the cosmic "dark ages."

Scientists on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission have stitched together a selfie of the spacecraft from 21 different ultraviolet images.
