Moon

NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has confirmed, for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the Moon.

By looking at the Moon, the most complete and accessible chronicle of the asteroid collisions that carved our young solar system, a group of scientists is challenging our understanding of a part of Earth’s history.

To train future explorers to support NASA’s mission to return to the Moon’s surface, scientists use similar environments found on the Earth.

A facility planned for ESA’s Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany, will recreate the Moon’s surface on Earth.

A team of astronomers observed the Moon with a radio telescope to help search for the faint signal from hydrogen atoms.

NASA has signed an agreement with the Israel Space Agency (ISA) to cooperatively utilize the Israeli nonprofit SpaceIL’s commercial lunar mission, expected to land on the Moon in 2019.

Unique patterns, visible from backyard telescopes, may be produced by strongly magnetized lava.

In the darkest and coldest parts of its polar regions, a team of scientists has directly observed definitive evidence of water ice on the Moon’s surface.

While the Moon is uninhabitable today, there could have been life on its surface in the distant past.

Scientists have discovered a mineral known as moganite in a lunar meteorite found in a hot desert in northwest Africa.
