Extrasolar planets help astrobiologists solve a 55-year-old mystery about the formation of the Moon.

Scientists have shown that broadband connectivity with speeds similar to those on Earth could be provided on other locations in the Solar System.

Three recent scientific papers examined the risks of interplanetary exchange of organisms using research from the International Space Station.

NASA has confirmed that the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft has finished its mission on April 17, 2014, with a planned impact on the surface of the Moon.
