NASA has released 21 files that can be used by 3D printers to create models of satellites, probes, planetary formations — even asteroids. The files, which come in the STL (stereolithography) format, ...

Using cutting-edge theoretical models and data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have transformed astronomical observations into detailed 3D models of cosmic objects — models that ...

Yes, we've yet to successfully send humans to Mars, but we already need to start thinking how we can stay there for long stretches of time -- or even for good. NASA launched the 3D-Printed Habitat ...

Would you like to create a perfect replica of the Cassini spacecraft? The Itokawa asteroid? The Gale Crater on Mars? The near and far sides of the lunar surface? If you are among the growing number of ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. New 3D models from NASA show how massive solar eruptions send powerful shock waves through space.

NASA's new project provides unique 3D "experiences" on Instagram, using data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes to offer augmented reality (AR) simulations. It enables users to ...

NASA has provided us with some truly fantastic images of the Moon over the years. We've gotten to see Earth's friendly little neighbor from just about every angle, and anyone who wants to scour images ...

Once one of the brightest stars in the night sky, the star Eta Carinae, lost its luster after the 1843 Great Eruption. NASA has now provided a three-dimensional model of the Homunculus Nebula and ...

NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge is edging towards its conclusion, which means another phase of the four-year competition has drawn to a close. This latest round tasked teams with creating detailed ...
