A former oceanographer who dreamed of exploring the Moon is now preparing Artemis astronauts to unlock lunar secrets. Cindy Evans' geology training helped the Artemis II crew capture scientific observations that will shape future missions.
Artemis II astronauts witnessed a ghostly blue glow over the Moon's dark side, capturing the strongest evidence yet that our closest neighbor is geologically alive. The discovery could reshape where future missions land and what resources they find.
Scientists captured something extraordinary: high-resolution before-and-after photos of a massive new crater on the Moon, an event that only happens once every 139 years. The discovery gives researchers an unprecedented window into how cosmic collisions reshape worlds.
The Artemis II mission reignited global excitement for space exploration and opened new opportunities for lunar science. Now scientists are planning where astronauts should land next to unlock the moon's greatest mysteries.
A geosciences professor will help plan humanity's return to the Moon after nearly 60 years. Timothy Glotch joins NASA's elite science team shaping what astronauts will study on the lunar surface.
NASA's Artemis II astronauts are heading home after becoming the first humans in over 50 years to see the moon's far side up close. Their mission opens the door to groundbreaking lunar science that could reveal secrets from the universe's earliest days.
Three scientists have become NASA's first certified Artemis II science officers, bringing lunar geology expertise directly into Mission Control. They'll guide astronauts in real-time observations during humanity's first crewed Moon flyby in over 50 years.
You don't need fancy equipment to contribute to real lunar science. The March 2026 total lunar eclipse offers three simple projects anyone with clear skies can tackle.
After analyzing 50-year-old lunar soil from Apollo missions, NASA scientists discovered that meteorites delivered far less water to Earth than previously thought. The finding rewrites our understanding of where Earth's oceans came from.
