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.
Ten scientists will help astronauts conduct groundbreaking research during humanity's return to the Moon's South Pole. They'll guide everything from rock collection to instrument deployment as we take our next giant leap toward Mars.
A spectacular full moon will grace May Day skies, offering stargazers across North America the perfect excuse to look up at dusk. Even better news: May delivers two full moons this year, making the second one a rare blue moon.
For the first time in over 50 years, astronauts are returning to the moon, and this journey could transform how humanity views our closest celestial neighbor. Science writer Rebecca Boyle explores how our relationship with the moon has evolved from ancient timekeeping to this generation's chance to rediscover its profound importance to life on Earth.
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are heading back to the Moon. NASA launched 15 science missions, flew two crewed flights, and rolled out the Artemis II spacecraft in just one year.
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are preparing to journey around the Moon. NASA rolled out its massive Artemis II rocket this weekend, capping a year that saw 15 science missions launch and American space exploration surge forward.
For the first time since 1972, human eyes will observe the moon up close when four astronauts fly past it next week. NASA turned what could have been just a test flight into a science mission that proves human observation still beats our best cameras.
The first quarter moon tonight offers stargazers a rare chance to see dramatic shadows cast by ancient lunar mountains and impact craters. No telescope required, though binoculars reveal even more of our moon's stunning geological history.
Volunteers with home telescopes are teaming up with NASA astronauts to document meteoroids crashing into the Moon, capturing flashes of light that reveal secrets about lunar impacts. Your backyard telescope could help scientists understand what's happening beneath the Moon's surface.
NASA wants to land robotic spacecraft on the moon every month starting in 2027, a dramatic acceleration that could fast-track humanity's return to the lunar surface. The ambitious plan aims to build the foundation for a permanent moon base by 2030.
Four astronauts splashed down safely off California's coast after circling the moon, marking America's successful return to deep space exploration. The flawless mission brings humanity one step closer to landing on the moon again and eventually reaching Mars.
Researchers from IIT-Kharagpur and PRL have finally explained why the moon's rocks contain up to nine times more titanium than Earth's volcanic rocks. Their breakthrough could help India's 2028 Chandrayaan-4 mission choose the perfect landing site to collect lunar samples.
Scientists in China have discovered a revolutionary way to track Earth's climate by observing our planet's radiation patterns from the moon. This breakthrough offers a clearer picture of global climate change than ever before.
NASA astronauts witnessed something no human has ever seen before: bright flashes from meteoroids hitting the far side of the moon with their own eyes. These rare observations are helping scientists design safer lunar habitats for future explorers.
NASA is canceling its lunar orbiting station to build a permanent base directly on the moon's surface within seven years. The ambitious $20 billion project aims to beat China's 2030 moon landing and establish humanity's first lasting home beyond Earth.
Four astronauts are wrapping up humanity's first crewed journey around the moon in over 50 years, preparing for a thrilling splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. After eight days circling the moon, the Artemis II crew is just two days from making history.
A 60-meter asteroid has a 4% chance of striking the moon on December 22, 2032, and scientists are getting ready to study the impact of a lifetime. The collision could unlock secrets about the moon's interior, geology, and history without any artificial intervention.
On Saturday evening, April 25, millions across the eastern U.S. will witness the moon glide in front of Regulus, one of the night sky's brightest stars. The rare celestial show is free for anyone with eyes to the sky.
NASA just announced three new scientific missions headed to the Moon to study its terrain, radiation, and inner heat. These experiments will help keep future astronauts safe and unlock secrets about how the Moon formed billions of years ago.
NASA just selected three groundbreaking science experiments headed to the moon by 2028, marking a major step forward in understanding our lunar neighbor. These missions will help protect future astronauts and unlock mysteries about the moon's past.
