A stronomers are getting prepared for the chance to see "the most energetic lunar impact event ever recorded in human history ...

Ancient Moon dust, meteorite traces and Apollo samples are helping NASA scientists rethink where Earth’s water truly came ...

Planetary scientists analyzing oxygen isotopes in lunar soil from the Apollo mission sites conclude that meteorite bombardment over 4 billion years could only have delivered a tiny fraction of Earth’s ...

NASA research using Apollo lunar regolith data refines the Moon’s impact record and places limits on meteorite contributions to Earth’s water over geologic time.

Earlier research held that meteorite impacts from the solar system's early days were a major source of Earth's water.

For a long time, scientists assumed that Earth's water was delivered by asteroids and comets billions of years ago. This coincided with the Late Heavy Bombardment (ca. 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago), a ...

Eudoxus, Aristoteles, and Cassini craters are positioned near the lunar terminator during the first quarter moon, allowing their structures to be observed through telescopes tonight.

Look high above the southern horizon at sunset on Jan. 25 to find the moon with its right half illuminated by direct sunlight ...

“These findings, together with previously reported natural few-layered graphene on the Moon’s near side, may inspire a paradigm shift in carbon science and offer new pathways for designing ...

Chinese scientists studying a 2-gram lunar soil sample from the Chang'e 6 mission have identified rare CI chondrite impact residues, providing new insights into mass transfer in the inner solar system ...

Particles from Earth’s atmosphere have been carried into space by solar wind and have been landing on the moon for billions of years, mixing into the lunar soil, according to a new study. The research ...
