Earth is bidding farewell to a tiny asteroid that joined its orbit for nearly two months. The asteroid, known as 2024 PT5, is set to be drawn away from Earth by the powerful pull of the sun on Monday.

An asteroid that orbited near Earth for a few months as a mini-moon may be a chunk of the moon that was blasted off by an impact thousands of years ago.

This means that one lunar rotation on its axis corresponds to the time of revolution around Earth, equal to 29.5 days. On a daily basis, the moon appears to move eastward in the sky by 12°, and this ...

But the synchronous rotation is not perfect, so the Moon does not always show exactly the same face to the Earth. We can actually see slightly over half of the Moon's surface, about 59 per cent ...

Using radar, a Nasa spacecraft, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), has confirmed the existence of caves beneath the lunar surface. Here's why such geological features will be key for establishing ...

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) "has made observations during prior eclipses, mainly focusing on how quickly the surface temperature changes once the moon is in the Earth's shadow," Noah ...

Deep in the Earth's mantle, where the rock becomes viscous due to high pressure, displacements occur over long periods of time.And there are also heat flows in the liquid metal of Earth's outer ...

Scientists have unveiled groundbreaking research on the origins of lunar water, offering insights that could reshape our understanding of the Earth-Moon system and the broader solar system. The ...
