An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is offering new clues about why the two sides of the moon - the one perpetually facing Earth and the other ...

A private lunar lander from Tokyo-based company ispace was aiming for a touchdown in the unexplored far north with a mini ...

The finding could explain the long-running mystery of why the surfaces of the lunar near and far sides are so different.

Anomalies in the moon’s gravitational field suggest our satellite’s insides are warmer on one side than the other – which ...

The moon spent a few million years as a volcanic wasteland, covered with ongoing eruptions that spewed from mountains and even from the ground itself. New research suggests that the moon's orbit could ...

(Adobe Stock) The Moon has gravity of its own ... When the sea level rises to its highest point, we call that high tide. When it falls to its lowest point, that's called low tide.

Once it reached that altitude — still much closer than the Moon’s current distance of roughly 60 Earth radii — Earth’s gravity would have pulled and squeezed on the Moon in a constantly ...

Dr. Janhunen may have found a solution, though. He studied the known lunar gravitational anomalies found by GRAIL. This satellite mapped the moon's gravity in great detail and found several places ...

Feb. 4 (UPI) --Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket and spacecraft completed its moon-gravity mission, but the capsule appeared to have a slight hiccup on its return when one of its parachutes did not ...

When you learn about the moon in school, you’re generally taught that its gravity is insufficient to ... As the paper notes, while each process has been well-characterized, previous research ...
