Samples from the Moon's Oceanus Procellarum may be able to calm at least one scientific squall: the source of lunar water.

New research suggests that volcanoes may have left another lasting impact on the lunar surface: sheets of ice that dot the moon’s poles.

The robotic explorer GLIMPSE, created at ETH Zurich has made it into the final round of a competition for prospecting resources in space.

Scientists have grown plants in soil from the Moon, a first in human history and a milestone in lunar and space exploration.

Soil on the moon contains active compounds that can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuels, scientists in China report.

The sensor is a surveying tool for both navigation and science mapping, able to create ultra-high-resolution 3D maps at centimeter precision

Hydrogen and oxygen escaping from Earth’s upper atmosphere and combining on the moon could be one of the sources of the known lunar water.

Earth-based telescopes that look that far back to the big bang (BB) 13.8 billion years ago are unable to resolve the relevant details.

The ambitious project aims to preserve humankind – and animal-kind, plant-kind and fungi-kind – in the event of a global crisis.

NASA has more than 20 Earth-observing satellites that give researchers a global perspective on the interconnected Earth system.

The Moon’s exact position is known with an error of at most one centimeter, thanks to the use of lasers sent from different observatories.

The mission, which will land on the moon next June, is made up of five small robots that will be placed on the lunar surface.

A US-based startup aims to build robotic outposts and spacecraft that can be sent to space near the Moon.

Earth’s plates might be shifting because the sun exerts such a strong gravitational pull on the moon that its orbit is elongating.

Scientists have shown how the freezing of a ‘slushy’ ocean of magma may be responsible for the composition of the Moon’s crust.

Scientists demonstrated how to create an environment where you not only survive, but also thrive in space.

Matter on Earth, both live and inert, experiences the effects of the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon expressed in the form of tides

Sophisticated analysis of a rock sample taken from the Moon during the Apollo 17 mission revealed new information.

NASA and the nation's top federal nuclear research lab on Friday put out a request for proposals for a fission surface power system.

A cold trap refers to a pocket on the surface of a solid body in which volatile gases can accrue and remain still for long periods of time.
