Astronomers discovered a "quasi-satellite" of Earth, also known as a "quasi-moon," dubbed 2025 PN7 in 2025. NASA told Snopes that 2025 PN7 has been in its current configuration "since at least the past 70 years and will remain so for another 60 years.

A new study suggests lunar soil contains elements that solar wind transported to the moon from Earth’s atmosphere, solving a long-standing astronomy puzzle.

A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar wind and our planet's magnetic field, upending a 20-year-old theory based on NASA's Apollo lunar samples.

A long-standing idea in planetary science is that water-rich meteorites arriving late in Earth's history could have delivered a major share of Earth's water. A new study by Universities Space Research Association (USRA) and University of New Mexico argues that the Moon's surface record sets a hard limit on that possibility: even under generous assumptions,

The familiar gray face in our night sky is not as passive as it looks. New research suggests the moon has been quietly collecting particles from Earth’s upper atmosphere for billions of years, turning our closest neighbor into an archive of our planet’s changing air and oceans.

As of Sunday, Jan. 18, the Moon phase is New Moon. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 0% of the Moon will be lit up tonight. Unsurprisingly, with 0% visibility, there's 0% chance of spotting anything on the Moon tonight. Things will start to get brighter over the coming days as we work through the new lunar cycle.

Stargazers are about to have a chance to spot Saturn and the moon sharing a section of the night sky in what's known as a conjunction. Here's when.

Crystals hidden in Australia’s oldest rocks have revealed new clues about how Earth and the Moon formed. The study suggests Earth’s continents didn’t begin growing until hundreds of millions of years after the planet itself formed.

February brings several special events, including a rare "occultation," and a planetary parade of six planets.
