Discovery Space [1] is a Web site launched by Discovery Communications LLC (DCI) on Friday June 6, 2008 [1]. Its sister site -- Discovery Technology [2] -- was launched concurrently.

Along with Discovery Technology, Discovery Space is viewed as a key part of Discovery's strategy to maintain a strong online presence [2].

Topics covered by the Web site's writers and bloggers include human spaceflight, unmanned spaceflight, astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, planetary science, space policy, space culture, student science, and other space-related subjects.

The Lowell Observatory is partnered with Discovery Space and is providing StarTales content [3] to the site.
