Earth's Moon

Just as dust gathers in corners and along bookshelves in our homes, dust piles up in space too. But when the dust settles in the solar system, it’s often in rings.

Whether you're doing it for the nerd cred or the pie, this week on #10Things, we've got all the ways you can celebrate #PiDay with NASA.

We will go to the Moon in the next decade in a way we have never gone before. This time, when we go to the Moon, we will stay.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine outlines plans to go to the Moon and then on to Mars.

Every object, planet or person traveling through space has to contend with the Sun's damaging radiation — and the Moon has the scars to prove it.

NASA invites you to take a behind-the-scenes look at how the agency explores outer space with a new monthly series that premieres this week.

Scientists have reproduced in the lab how the ingredients for life could have formed deep in the ocean 4 billion years ago. The results of the new study offer clues to how life started on Earth and where else in the cosmos we might find it.

NASA has selected 12 science and technology demonstration payloads to fly to the Moon as early as the end of this year.

Scientists have synthesized a molecular system that, like DNA, can store and transmit information. This suggests there could be a genetic system for life that may be possible on other worlds.

Congratulations to SpaceIL and the Israel Space Agency. This is a historic step for all nations and commercial space.

An Israeli mission will take a shot at the first private Moon landing, and NASA is contributing to the experiment.

When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind careens onto the Moon's surface, they many enrich ingredients that could make water

The next full Moon will be on Feb. 19, 2019.

Smartphone-like sensors on the NASA rover were used to calculate the density of Mount Sharp, offering new clues to its formation.

Scientists may have discovered the oldest Earth rock ever—on the Moon. A lunar sample returned by the Apollo 14 astronauts may contain a bit of Earth from about 4 billion years ago.

Through an innovative combination of missions involving commercial and international partners, NASA’s robotic lunar surface missions will begin as early as 2020.

The next full Moon will be just after midnight on Monday morning, January 21, 2019.

By looking at the Moon, the most complete and accessible chronicle of the asteroid collisions that carved our young solar system, a group of scientists is challenging our understanding of a part of Earth’s history.

Nine U.S. companies now are eligible to bid on NASA delivery services to the lunar surface through Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contracts, as one of the first steps toward long-term scientific study and human exploration of the Moon and eventually Mars.

In studying Mars, NASA's InSight will reveal what makes one planet more or less suitable for life than another.

The Next Full Moon, on Nov. 23, is the Frost Moon, the Moon Before Yule, Kartik Purnima, the full Moon that corresponds with the That Luang Festival, and Ill Poya.

November 16 marks the premiere of a unique film and musical experience inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope’s famous Deep Field image

Planetary scientists study volcanoes in Iceland to better understand Earth and other planets.

From deep below the soil at Earth’s polar regions to Pluto’s frozen heart, ice exists all over the solar system...and beyond.

NASA has announced a call for Lunar Surface Instrument and Technology Payloads that will fly to the Moon on commercial lunar landers as early as next year or 2020.
