Could evidence of alien technology be hidden in plain sight? Scientists suggest searching the Moon’s dust for signs of ancient extraterrestrial visitors. A provocative new proposal suggests that the key to finding extraterrestrial life might not lie in...

NASA’s first lunar fire experiment may transform astronaut safety and shape future Moon missions. NASA is gearing up for a unique test that will light a flame in the Moon’s weak gravity, a step that could prove decisive for the agency’s Artemis agenda...

Apollo 10’s near‑Moon landing return hit 40,000 km/h, a re‑entry speed record untouched for 57 years. When the Apollo 10 command module sliced through Earth’s atmosphere on 26 May 1969, it did so at a blistering 36 397 feet per second – roughly 39 938...

NASA trials Artemis hardware against harsh lunar dust while pioneering tech to convert Moon resources into oxygen and rocket fuel. Before astronauts can set foot on the Moon for months at a time, the gear they rely on must survive a pervasive...

Could the biggest discovery in the search for alien life be hidden in a handful of moon dust? New theories suggest lunar samples may hold the answer. The quest to find evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life has traditionally been synonymous with...

NASA scientists are investigating a mysterious new crater on the Moon discovered after a routine check of orbital imagery revealed an unexpected change. NASA scientists have identified the largest fresh impact crater ever recorded on the Moon, a...

research reveals how lunar gravity alters water flow, posing significant challenges for future efforts to grow plants on the Moon. Water management on the Moon may present a much steeper engineering challenge than previously anticipated. Recent data...

Scientists have discovered a massive lunar crater, larger than the Roman Colosseum, hidden within 17 months of detailed moon surface data. While conducting a routine examination of lunar imagery on October 24, 2025, Robert Wagner, an image-processing...
