A solar eclipse’s appearance is wrapped up in the geometry of the bodies involved.
The rocket section struck the lunar surface near Einstein crater on the Moon’s near side.
What’s the most impressive natural phenomenon known to humankind? Probably a solar eclipse! Here’s a brief overview ahead of this summer’s big celestial event.
As the Moon starts getting crowded, questions of safety and responsibility are becoming hard to ignore.
A lunar base could allow for research, economic activities and lunar mining. Such an operation has potential benefits, but lots of challenges await NASA.
Suitable spots for establishing human outposts at the south pole are finite.
One of Earth’s closest cosmic companions has puzzled scientists for years.
Lunar architecture isn’t just an engineering challenge. At its heart, it is about understanding human experience at the extremes.
Only by fostering a deeper sense of ‘space citizenship’ will everyone benefit from our journeys to the Moon – and beyond.
The Artemis program’s timeline and architecture has changed over the past year, so Artemis III will not land on the lunar surface.
As lunar missions are back in vogue with engineering more sustainable human presence on the Moon in mind, there’s no getting away from the fact that you can’t breathe on a satellite that has no atmosphere.
