The Blue Ghost touchdown kicks off two weeks of around-the-clock research by NASA science and technology payloads.

The countdown for the year's first total lunar eclipse begins. The celestial event, which will see the moon change to rusty red hues, will occur in the U.S. on the night of March 13-14.

Intuitive Machines, a Houston company aiming to repeat a 2024 landing, said its spacecraft, Athena, has power and is communicating but may not be upright. It is unclear how that might impact the ...

A total lunar eclipse, the first in nearly three years, will be visible across the U.S. the night of March 13 into early March 14. This celestial event happens when the Earth is positioned ...

Before arriving at the moon, the small satellite mission will use the gravity of the sun, Earth, and moon over several months to gradually line up for capture into lunar orbit. NASA's Lunar ...

This week, follow the journeys of two lunar landers, meet “woolly mice,” see the oldest known bone tools, and more.

Since the spacecraft has a relatively small engine, its planned trajectory will use the gravity of the sun, Earth, and moon to guide it to the final orbit—a technique called low-energy transfer.

LPV is designed to collect and transfer lunar soil without relying on gravity. While the EDS, LuGRE, SCALPSS, and LPV have gotten early attention, Blue Ghost carries more experiments. The Lunar ...

A total lunar eclipse, the first in nearly three years, will be visible across the U.S. the night of March 13 into early March 14. This celestial event happens when the Earth is positioned directly ...
