Astronomers may have found the first exomoon beyond our solar system – a Jupiter‑mass companion orbiting a brown dwarf. Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope, astronomers have identified a Jupiter‑sized body orbiting a brown...

has unveiled a 20-meter lunar solar tower designed to provide over 10 kilowatts of power for future operations near the Moon’s south pole. Blue Origin has unveiled plans for a towering lunar solar array, a 20-meter structure designed to deliver more...

a routine session on the Martian plain, NASA’s Perseverance rover recorded a striking sky picture that places Earth and the moon Phobos side by side, offering a rare glimpse of our planetary neighborhood from another world. Mars Rover Captures Uncommon...

New analysis of Cassini data reveals how Saturn’s moon Enceladus launches frozen ocean fragments into space, providing fresh clues in the search for life. Enceladus, the small, icy moon orbiting Saturn, may be inadvertently acting as a sophisticated...

1, observers should look toward the west-southwest horizon shortly after sunset. By September 14, a thin waxing crescent Moon will provide a convenient visual marker, sitting roughly 5.5 degrees from the planet. Although Venus reaches a peak brilliance...

New research suggests Saturn’s moon Enceladus might be processing its own subsurface ocean material, offering a unique opportunity to study its chemistry. The search for extraterrestrial life has received a significant boost, as new research suggests...

are developing a streamlined lunar spacesuit to ensure the Artemis missions stay on track for a successful return to the Moon. NASA is recalibrating its technical requirements for the next-generation lunar spacesuit, a strategic pivot designed to...

for lunar construction without the need to ship resources from Earth. Transporting construction materials from Earth to the Moon is a logistical and financial hurdle of massive proportions, with costs often exceeding $1 million per kilogram. To bypass...

moving experimental lunar concepts into actionable, field-ready demonstrations. Establishing a permanent foothold on the Moon requires moving beyond the “flag and footprints” paradigm of past missions. To ensure the safety and productivity of future...

Researchers now probe Titan’s hidden interior after studying its rivers, lakes, and hazy atmosphere. Titan—the massive moon orbiting Saturn—could become a cornerstone for deep‑space operations. New research evaluates how its abundant hydrocarbons,...

A UFO‑shaped structure has landed at Kennedy Space Center, and could play a key role in NASA’s Artemis III Moon mission. NASA has taken delivery of an unusually shaped piece of equipment linked to the Artemis III program. Though its silhouette...

meteors per hour under ideal conditions, according to data from NASA, 2026 presents a significant observational hurdle: the Moon. As the shower peaks, the Moon will be in its waxing gibbous phase, bathing the sky in enough light to potentially wash out...

New simulations reveal how giant impacts shaped icy moons and their hidden subsurface oceans over time, challenging our understanding of these frozen worlds. High-energy impacts in the outer reaches of the Solar System, once thought to be potential...

Moonquakes may pinpoint hidden lunar ice, offering a breakthrough that could reshape Artemis mission planning. A novel approach that listens to the Moon’s own tremors could soon reveal hidden stores of water ice at the lunar south pole, offering a...

of South Florida is pioneering closed‑loop farming methods that could supply fresh produce for crews traveling to the Moon and Mars. By merging plant biology, engineering, and waste‑recycling technologies, researchers aim to create self‑sustaining food...

exploration capabilities. Chinese engineers are exploring the possibility of deploying autonomous quadruped robots on the Moon to assist future crews with exploration, upkeep of habitats, and the construction of a long‑term research outpost. The study...

transform familiar astronomical systems into powerful detectors for ancient gravitational waves. For billions of years, the Moon has traced a steady path around Earth. Now, physicists suggest this familiar celestial dance could serve as a vast, natural...

Scientists launch next‑gen BALLS to the Moon, testing a novel, ultra‑quiet method for space research that could unlock new ways to study the universe. The Africa2Moon programme has secured a slot on China’s upcoming Chang’e‑8 lunar mission, positioning...

NASA’s DART spacecraft famously shifted the orbit of an asteroid moon in 2022. New research shows the impact also nudged the entire asteroid system around the Sun, marking the first confirmed human-caused change to a celestial body’s heliocentric...

between missing the planet entirely and catching its faint glow. Lunar Milestones and Meteor Shower Highlights The Moon will pass near several prominent stars this month, including Spica in Virgo and the red supergiant Antares in Scorpius. A...
