First ARTEMIS Spacecraft Successfully Enters Lunar Orbit
The first of two ARTEMIS ("Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun") spacecraft is now in its lunar orbit. View More (2011-06-29)
LRO Observes Final Lunar Eclipse of the Year
Orbiting 31 miles above the lunar surface, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft will get a "front-row seat" to the total lunar eclipse on Dec. 10, 2011. View More (2011-12-12)
Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar orbit
Chandrayaan-1, the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) lunar orbiter, was captured into orbit around the Moon on 8 November. One day later, the spacecraft performed a manoeuvre that lowered the closest point of its orbit down to 200 km from the Moon. View More (2008-11-11)
SMART-1 uses new imaging technique in lunar orbit
ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft has been surveying the Moon's surface in visible and near-infrared light using a new technique, never before tried in lunar orbit. View More (2005-12-27)
Earthshine reflects Earth's oceans and continents from the dark side of the Moon
Researchers from the University of Melbourne and Princeton University have shown for the first time that the difference in reflection of light from the Earth's land masses and oceans can be seen on the dark side of the moon, a phenomenon known as earthshine. View More (2009-04-08)
Earthquakes Happen at Full Moon
Russian physicists have found that flashes of neutron radiation from the Earth surface are bound to increasing in seismic activity. They believe that this phenomenon can be used as a novel kind of earthquake foreboding. The researchers of the Department of Cosmic Radiation of the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University have noticed that at new moon and full moon periods...

Two New NASA LRO Videos: See Moon's Evolution, Take a Tour
In honor of 1,000 days in orbit, the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) team at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Md. has released two new videos. View More (2012-03-15)
UT researcher discovers water on moon originated from comets
Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, continue to chip away at the mysterious existence of water on the moon -- this time by discovering the origin of lunar water. View More (2011-01-12)
Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar transfer trajectory
Yesterday, following a fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre, the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft successfully settled into a trajectory that will take it to the Moon. View More (2008-11-06)
ESA takes a new look at the Moon
Thirty years after Apollo 16`s lunar module, Orion, landed at the western edge of the Descartes Mountains on 21 April 1972, there is still much that we don`t know about the Moon. For instance, how was it created? And what role did it play in the formation and evolution of Earth? We may be closer to answering those, and many other questions, thanks to SMART-1, ESA`s mission to the Moon. Due to... View More (2002-04-23)
Moon and Earth Formed out of Identical Material
According to the «Giant Impact» theory the moon was formed by a collision between a proto-earth and a smaller planet. In the October 12 issue of Science, ETH researchers present results showing that the composition of the oxygen isotopes of the moon and the earth are identical. This is a strong indication that the proto-earth and the planet with which it collided were formed from an... View More (2001-10-11)
First extrasolar planets, now extrasolar moons
ESA is now planning a mission that can detect moons around planets outside our Solar System, those orbiting other stars! Everyone knows our Moon: lovers stare at it, wolves howl at it, and ESA recently sent SMART-1 to study it. But there are over a hundred other moons in our Solar System, each a world in its own right. A moon is a natural body that travels around a planet. Moons are a... View More (2003-10-09)
UT researchers discover water on the moon is widespread, similar to Earth's
Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, are once again turning what scientists thought they knew about the moon on its head. View More (2010-07-22)
First journey for Europe's first Moon-mapping instrument
An instrument that will map the entire surface of the Moon and determine the minerals and elements in its rocks is due to be delivered to the European Space Agency (ESA) this week. The D-CIXS instrument is a tiny imaging X-ray spectrometer the size of a toaster and weighing less than 5 kilograms. It will be taken as hand luggage to the ESA's Estec research and technology centre in the Netherlands... View More (2002-08-05)
C1XS catches first glimpse of X-ray from the moon
The C1XS X-ray camera, jointly developed by the UK's STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has successfully detected its first X-ray signature from the Moon. View More (2009-01-26)
A total lunar eclipse and winter solstice coincide on Dec. 21
With frigid temperatures already blanketing much of the United States, the arrival of the winter solstice on December 21 may not be an occasion many people feel like celebrating. View More (2010-12-20)
New analysis explains formation of bulge on far side of moon
A bulge of elevated topography on the farside of the moon--known as the lunar farside highlands--has defied explanation for decades. View More (2010-11-12)
A myth debunked: The full moon does not increase the incidence of psychological problems
Contrary to popular belief, there is no connection between lunar phases and the incidence of psychological problems. View More (2012-11-20)
SMART-1 detects calcium on the Moon
Thanks to measurements by the D-CIXS X-ray spectrometer, ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft has made the first ever unambiguous remote-sensing detection of calcium on the Moon. View More (2005-06-08)
Magazines for women depict babies in unsafe sleep environments
