The wayward booster left not one but two impact craters on the lunar surface, suggesting there was something undisclosed on the Chang'e 5-T1 mission.
A reexamination of post-Apollo era moonquakes suggests they weren't caused by natural processes.
The supermoon is the second this month after August 1’s "Sturgeon Moon."
The month presents a rare celestial double feature: two full supermoons—a spectacle unseen since 2018 and not recurring until 2037.
An increasing number of lunar landers are expected to reach the Moon in the coming years, but scientists are worried about their impact on orbiting spacecraft.
Researchers found that the Moon's inner core is about 310 miles wide, which is about 15% the diameter of the Moon.
Fresh images from NASA's new ShadowCam is allowing the space agency to get a closer look at possible landing sites for its upcoming crewed Artemis missions.
The space agency is hoping that future astronauts can use this technology for longterm habitation on the Moon as part of its Artemis program.
The Moon still has much to tell us about the early solar system. Encouragingly, it also has scientific value as a platform for observational astronomy.
Samples brought to Earth by the Chang’e-5 mission contain signs of water, according to a new study.
NASA and the Department of Energy are collaborating on the ambitious lunar experiment, called LuSEE-Night.
Growing plants in lunar soil isn't easy, but new research suggests hydroponics, with some locally sourced nutrients, could prove to be a more useful technique.
The Danuri mission recently entered lunar orbit where it will spend the next year scanning the surface of the Moon.
The inflatable modules would serve as greenhouses and use large mirrors to collect valuable sunlight.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has discovered super-reasonable temperatures inside ancient lunar pits, of which hundreds exist on the Moon.
An unidentified object hit the lunar surface earlier this year, forming a perplexing double crater.
The space agency also plans to plop some yeast onto the Moon, where it will be exposed to deadly space radiation.
NASA loaned biologists 12 grams of lunar soil, and it was enough to kindle the growth of multiple flowering plants.
The 19-mile-wide, ice-covered hole is bigger than roughly 90% of all known impact craters on Earth.
Though missing some of its rim, the recently discovered impact site is clearly recognizable from above.
