More than 15 billion miles from home, Voyager 1's ailing thrusters were threatening to abort the craft's mission. Until NASA engineers brought them miraculously back to life.

NASA has successfully reactivated Voyager 1’s backup thrusters, unused since 2004, in what NASA is calling a "miracle save" for the 48 years old probe now in deep space.

NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has solved a long-standing cosmic mystery about how X-rays are generated in the powerful jets of black holes like blazar BL Lacertae. By observing ...
