The researchers analyzed lunar samples that had remained unopened since they were collected by Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972. Using state-of-the-art techniques, they discovered a new exotic sulfur that ...

A new study challenges the idea that the moon was formed by a rogue planetary body slamming into the Earth and knocking off a disc. Instead, the study's authors think the moon may have emerged from an ...

Scientists got a never-before-seen look at an area around a large exoplanet 625 light-years away where moons could potentially form.

The James Webb Telescope measured a potential moon-forming disk encircling an exoplanet, NASA recently announced, inviting researchers to observe and study moon formation as it happens, while ...

A new study that analyzed isotopic differences in potassium contained in terrestrial and lunar rock samples is helping to shed light on the formation process that led to the creation of Earth's Moon.

Villages on the moon, constructed through cooperation between astronauts and robotic systems on the lunar surface, could become a reality as early as 2030. That's the consensus of a recent ...

Olson said the giant impact argument for the formation of the moon is the most prevalent scientific hypothesis on how Earth satellite was formed, but it is still considered unproven because there's ...
