Representative organic matter is marked in microscopic images of lunar soil samples brought back by Chang'e 6 (top) and Chang ...

From a scientific perspective, the results reveal a continuous evolutionary sequence of lunar organic matter -- from exogenous delivery through impact-induced restructuring, to space-weathering ...

Elements essential to life, such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur, were "delivered" to Earth and the moon ...

Chinese scientists have identified impact remnants from meteorites in Chang’e-6 lunar samples, shedding light on the origin ...

Observations conducted with the Subaru Telescope and its first-generation wide-field camera, Suprime-Cam, have revealed new ...

Dying stars may be wiping out nearby giant planets as they expand into red giants. Astronomers found that these close-in planets become increasingly rare around more evolved stars, suggesting many ...

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

In late 2025 a mysterious comet flew between the orbits of Earth and Mars and reached a speed of more than 150,000 miles per hour during its closest approach to the sun. The rare interstellar guest to ...

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was the third object ever discovered in our solar system that originated from another star system. Despite a viral conspiracy theory, NASA officials have repeatedly ...

In this Perspective, we examine the implications of modern cold-accretion and disk-mediated paradigms for two widely cited impact hypotheses: the Moon-forming giant impact and the Late Heavy ...
