Heat from tidal forces remelted the Moon’s crust, says new reesarch, which may explain why the Moon is older than some ...

Over 4.6 billion years ago, the early Earth emerged from a swirling disk of gas and dust encircling the young sun. This ...

Artist’s impression of what the Moon looked like during the tidal-heating event. There would have been intense volcanic activity everywhere. The early Earth would have loomed much larger in the sky ...

American space agency NASA says it has completed the first test campaign on mockups of the future Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) ...

One of the main challenges is figuring out how time behaves differently on the Moon than it does on Earth, which is something related to the science behind how gravity works, as explained by Einstein.

To tackle such a problem, Mr Patla and Mr Ashby acknowledged that the Earth-Moon system is in free fall, moving only under the influence of the Sun's gravity ... enables us to compare clock ...

“Our data suggest that the moon inherited water tracing back to Earth’s formation, followed by later contributions from comets, delivering the water reservoirs we see today.” Astronomers once thought ...

These changes in appearance are the phases of the moon. As the moon orbits Earth, it cycles through eight distinct phases. The four primary phases of the moon (new moon, first quarter, full moon ...

This phenomenon is rooted in Einstein's theory of relativity, which states that time is influenced by both gravity and speed. Listen to Story The study delves into the behaviour of clocks at Lagrange ...

The astronauts on the I.S.S. — including two who were scheduled to return months ago — held a zero-gravity ... Earth greeted Apollo 8 astronauts as they approached from behind the moon on ...

New research suggests the moon is much older than previous estimates, with a history marked by intense volcanic activity that ...
