New study provides clearer insight into how the Moon formed and why its materials closely resemble those of Earth.

A groundbreaking study in Nature has shaken up our understanding of the moon’s formation. This research suggests that the moon was born during Earth’s earliest days, revolutionizing the timeline of ...

NASA spotted a new moon almost at the border of our solar system. Back in 1986, a theory came up that this cosmic body could ...
