A detailed study of a giant impact crater on the Moon’s far side could provide a roadmap for future lunar explorers. The study, by planetary…
A new explanation for the Moon’s origin has it forming inside the Earth when our planet was a seething, spinning cloud of vaporized rock, called…
It’s amazing what a difference a little water can make. The Moon formed between about 4.4 and 4.5 billion years ago when an object collided…
A new analysis of data from two lunar missions finds evidence that the Moon’s water is widely distributed across the surface and is not confined…
As NASA sets its sights on returning to the Moon, and preparing for Mars, the agency is developing new opportunities in lunar orbit to provide…
NASA’s former chief exploration scientist, Michael Wargo, has been posthumously honored with the distinction of having a lunar crater named after him. Wargo Crater is…

The Moon was a focal point for NASA in 2017, whether it was blocking out the Sun during one of the most-viewed events in U.S….
The Earth’s Moon had a rough start in life. Formed from a chunk of the Earth that was lopped off during a planetary collision, it…
New research reveals that billions of years ago the Moon actually had an atmosphere that was thicker than the atmosphere of Mars today. Looking up…
New research supported by NASA’s Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute shows that an atmosphere was produced around the ancient Moon, 3 to 4 billion…

A team at NASA’s Ames Research Center has created a simulated lunar environment to study lighting conditions experienced at the unexplored poles of the Moon….
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has identified bright areas in craters near our moon’s south pole that are cold enough to have frost present on…
Newly published research reveals that heat from the crystallization of the lunar core may have driven its now-defunct magnetic field some 3 billion years ago….
