It was long thought, up until recently, that asteroids and comets delivered Earth's oceans during the very early Solar System ...

Using lunar ice to make rocket fuel could help future lunar settlements sustain themselves and provide a launch pad for astronauts to reach Mars.

Ancient Moon dust, meteorite traces and Apollo samples are helping NASA scientists rethink where Earth’s water truly came ...

New research suggests Earth’s water came from sources other than meteorites, challenging long-standing theories on planetary ...

A new NASA study using Apollo lunar soil samples challenges a long-held theory. It suggests meteorites were not the primary ...

A new round of king tides — higher-than-usual oceanic tides, caused by the moon’s alignment with the Earth — arrived Friday, coinciding with a set of storms that started to drop rain earlier in the ...

We are going to get 13 Full Moons in 2026, one every 29.5 days and one each month with two in May known as a blue moon. A Full Moon happens when the whole of the Earth-facing side of the Moon is ...

NASA research using Apollo lunar regolith data refines the Moon’s impact record and places limits on meteorite contributions to Earth’s water over geologic time.

Exhaust from lunar landers drifts across the moon and contaminates ultra-cold polar craters that are rich in ancient ice and ...

A long-standing idea in planetary science is that water-rich meteorites arriving late in Earth’s history could have delivered ...

For a long time, scientists assumed that Earth's water was delivered by asteroids and comets billions of years ago. This coincided with the Late Heavy Bombardment (ca. 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago), a ...
