On March 3, a total lunar eclipse will create a copper-red blood moon, with skywatchers across multiple regions able to witness the event.

Earth's cosmic neighbourhood is more dynamic than imagined, hosting temporary 'mini-moons' captured by gravity and 'quasi-moons' in resonant orbits. These transient visitors, unlike our permanent Moon,

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may have been born in a colossal cosmic crash. New research suggests Titan formed when two older moons slammed together hundreds of millions of years ago—an event so violent it reshaped Saturn’s entire moon system and may have indirectly sparked the formation of its iconic rings.

A rare total lunar eclipse will turn the Moon a deep coppery red tonight, offering skywatchers a safe and spectacular celestial show.

NASA on Friday announced an abrupt change to its pathway to getting astronauts back on the lunar surface, opting to add in an additional crewed test flight before attempting to land.

Planetary scientists have produced the first global map of small mare ridges on the Moon, adding new evidence that the lunar surface has been reshaped in geologically recent times by tectonic forces tied to the body’s long-term contraction.

A cluster of telescopes lined the concrete outside of Kika Silva Pla Planetarium, and families leaned in to take peeks at the moon’s craters through their lenses. Strangers chatted to each other about space, and above them a waxing gibbous glowed in ...
