Scientists have further narrowed the search for a hypothetical particle that could be dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up 80 percent of all the mass in the universe. This video from NASA Astrophysics presents the new results, compiled from two years' worth of data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

From year to year, the moon never seems to change. Craters and other formations appear to be permanent now, but the moon didn't always look like this. Thanks to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, we now have a better look at some of the moon's history. Learn more in this video!

Animation depicts the proposed test flight of the Orion spacecraft in 2014. Orion is NASA's new spacecraft that'll take humans beyond low-Earth orbit. During the test, called Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1), Orion will launch from Cape Canaveral, Fla., perform two orbits, then re-enter and set down in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of the U. S. Narrated by Jay Estes, deputy for Orion's flight test integration.
