NASA spotted hopping liquid water on Moon’s surface

Space
Earth’s Moon was once assumed to be a dry and dusty place, but over time that image has changed. But the Moon isn't nearly...
Research using data from NASA's ARTEMIS mission suggests that lunar swirls, like the Reiner Gamma lunar swirl imaged here by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, could be the result of solar wind interactions with the Moon's isolated pockets of magnetic field. Credits: NASA LRO WAC science team

NASA mission reveals origins of Moon’s ‘Sunburn’

Space
What happens when the Sun’s radiation hits our rocky moon, where there is no magnetic field to protect it. Scientists used NASA's ARTEMIS mission and...

Moon could be a chemical factory for water

Space
Using a computer program, NASA scientists have recreated a chemical procedure through which elements for water could be made on the surface of the...

Earth’s oldest rock found on the Moon

Space
Scientists may have just found the oldest intact Earth rock—on the moon. Scientists have discovered the rock decades ago by the Apollo 14 crew. The Apollo...

A meteorite hit the moon during total lunar eclipse

Space
Observers of recent's lunar eclipse were blessed with a bonus surprise- a meteorite impact. The alleged "super wolf blood moon" was anxiously viewed by a...
Ice spikes – aka penitentes – on the Upper Rio Blanco in the Central Andes of Argentina. Similar ice spikes could exist on the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa, at its equatorial latitudes.

Jupiter’s moon Europa may have large pointed spikes of ice on its surface

Space
A team of researchers from Cardiff University has predicted Penitentes, large pointed spikes of ice, which is known on Earth and Pluto might be...

A team of astronomers led by Dr Benjamin McKinley at Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) and the...
The image shows the distribution of surface ice at the Moon’s south pole (left) and north pole (right), detected by NASA’s Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument. Blue represents the ice locations, plotted over an image of the lunar surface, where the gray scale corresponds to surface temperature (darker representing colder areas and lighter shades indicating warmer zones). The ice is concentrated at the darkest and coldest locations, in the shadows of craters. This is the first time scientists have directly observed definitive evidence of water ice on the Moon’s surface

Nasa scientists observed evidence of water ice on the Moon’s surface

Space
NASA scientists using the data from NASA’s Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) instrument and identifies three specific signatures on the Moon. These signatures clearly suggest...
