Two new papers published in the Astrophysical Journal describe the process of hydrocarbon creation on Saturn’s moon Titan and predicted how long Titan’s chemical factory…
Based on data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, a newly published research paper suggests that Lake Ontario Lacus on Saturn’s moon Titan is very similar to…
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured surface temperature measurements with its composite infrared spectrometer and several images as it completed its flyby of Saturn’s moons Enceladus and…
A new report suggests that the magnetic anomalies on the moon are remnants of a massive asteroid collision, which is believed to have occurred some…
Below are two new videos released from NASA showing the evolution of the moon and a narrated tour of the moon. A Narrated Tour of…
The GRAIL spacecraft has officially begun its science phase and will map the gravity field of the moon three times over the next 84 days,…
By combining data from one of Cassini’s instruments, called CAPS (Cassini Plasma Spectrometer), researchers discovered that Dione’s exosphere contains molecules of oxygen. The researchers estimate…
Recently published research papers reveal new details of how Saturn’s moon Titan shifts with the seasons and throughout the day. The research is based on…
Researchers recently examined the new high-resolution images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft and found that “recent” geologic activity has occurred on the moon….
While NASA released some detailed lunar data late last year, no one had used this data to create a map in true 3-D, something that…
NASA wants to plan a space outpost parked near the Lagrange point, where the Earth’s and moon’s gravitation fields nearly cancel each other out, making…
The first images and video from NASA’s GRAIL mission of the far side of the moon were captured on January 19, 2012, by the MoonKAM…
New research by MIT scientists on lunar rock suggests that the moon once had a molten, convecting core of liquid metal. They believe this dynamo…
The Phobos-Grunt spacecraft, which was supposed to have traveled to Phobos, a moon of Mars, and back, crashed on Earth. The ambitious project crashed into…
Two new satellites are now in orbit around the moon and they could give us some valuable info about whether our moon merged with another…
In the old days it used to be largely guess-work when determining which alien worlds might be most livable, but not anymore. These days we…
