It would orbit within Alpha Centauri A’s habitable zone, the starlight-bathed region where liquid water can persist on a planet’s surface. Announced on August 7 and described in two preprint papers ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4, which once appeared to be on a collision course with Earth, may hit the moon, which could create some problems for our planet.

There are eight main moon phases, and they follow a repeating cycle: New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Say goodbye to Earth’s second Moon! This video explores the fascinating phenomenon of what is often referred to as Earth's second moon, discussing its origins, characteristics, and the ...

Scientists predict an asteroid will miss Earth and strike the moon in 2032, causing a rare meteor shower.

The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is out of sight yet still very much on scientists' minds. It now poses a threat to the moon, rather than Earth.

Moon phases are how the moon looks from Earth as it goes around us. We always see the same side of the moon, but how much of it is lit up by the Sun changes depending on where it is in its orbit.

With more than 10,000 active satellites in low-Earth orbit and more than 25,000 pieces of space junk, researchers believe an asteroid strike to the Moon could spell trouble for satellite operators.
