Decades after being sealed away, Apollo-era lunar samples are revealing unexpected chemical signatures that challenge ...

The formation of the Moon may have come harder on the heels of Earth's birth than we thought. According to a new analysis by researchers from the US, France, and Germany, Earth's constant companion ...

In the summer of 2024, a robotic mission landed for the first time on the far side of the Moon. The Chinese Chang’e-6 lander planted a flag, dug up more than four pounds of rock and soil, and brought ...

Unlike Earth, the Moon doesn't have much of a magnetic field – and yet, a strange pile of rocks on the far side seems mysteriously magnetized. A new study suggests that a major cataclysm, over and ...

Indian research into the Moon is shifting toward deeper geological exploration rather than surface-level research alone.

The conventional explanation for the moon's formation is that an enormous rock smashed into the nascent Earth and created it as a result. A new theory challenges the particulars of how events may have ...

Whether it’s under the stars on the Main Green, from smudged dorm windows or through open sunroofs, we see the moon nearly every night. But a new study by Brown researchers suggests that we know less ...

WASHINGTON — The moon is sometimes called "two-faced" because the surface of its side perpetually facing away from Earth looks so different than its side always facing our planet. And the differences ...

A physicist, a chemist, and a mathematician walk into a bar. It sounds like the start of a bad joke, but in my case, it was the start of an idea that could reshape how scientists think about the ...
