Lunar minerals generate the rust mineral hematite when bombarded with high-energy oxygen particles, experiments show.

The Moon is undergoing rusting due to oxygen particles from Earth transforming lunar minerals into hematite, according to ...

Scientists have discovered that the Moon is rusting due to oxygen particles originating from Earth. These particles travel ...

U.S. scientists confirm Earth's new quasi-moon, 2025 PN7, sharing our orbit for 60 more years. Learn how quasi-moons work and ...

Over 4.6 billion years ago, Earth took shape from a spinning cloud of dust and gas surrounding the young sun. Tiny particles within this cloud collided and clumped together, driven by gravity and ...

Researchers are discussing 2025 PN7, a small celestial body that's following a similar orbital path to our planet's without being gravitationally tied to Earth ...

Long ago, the Moon was much nearer Earth. Scientists believe a protoplanet collision created the Moon 4.5 billion years ago.

In 2020, scientists reported the detection of hematite, an iron oxide mineral otherwise known as rust, distributed through ...

For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm. A t ...

The three spacecraft will be forecasting solar storms, mapping our solar neighborhood and observing the outer layer of Earth’s atmosphere.

The Earth stands alone in the solar system as a habitable world, as far as we know. But that doesn’t mean we don’t get visitors, most often in the form of (usually harmless) asteroids. Some even ...
