Placing ultrastable lasers inside some of the coldest, darkest lunar craters could help scientists establish a GPS-like ...

Long before the full moon rises, shifting sunlight transforms the lunar surface into one of the sky's best telescope targets.

The Moon is coming back.

For all its ancient, familiar features, the Moon is still changing—and sometimes in dramatic ways. Scientists recently identified a fresh 22-meter-wide crater by comparing orbital images taken years ...

Scientists propose ultrastable lunar lasers inside permanently shadowed craters to enable GPS-like navigation and precision ...

The Moon is constantly being bombarded by traveling space rocks, its surface recording each collision in the form of craters that never fade in the absence of wind or surface water. Most lunar craters ...

From blooming tulip fields in the Netherlands to the glowing shell of the Bubble Nebula, last week’s PPOD images celebrated ...
