The shocking discovery of hematite on the Moon was made a few years ago. Hematite forms from the oxidation of iron, a process ...

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 ...

When the Artemis program returns humans to the lunar surface, astronauts may want to make sure they’re up to date on their tetanus shots. The Moon is covered in rust.

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 ...

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

So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases ...

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 ...

The Moon appears unchanging in the night sky, but its movement hides a slow transformation. For decades, scientists have observed that our satellite is gradually moving away from Earth, year ...
