The Earth and moon are within view of NASA's Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft. The Earth is over 260,000 miles away (418,000 km) in ...

NASA’s uncrewed Orion spacecraft reached the farthest distance from Earth it will travel during the Artemis I mission — 268,563 miles from our home planet — just after 3 p.m. CST.

A huge rock orbiting near Earth appears to have originated from the moon, the second such object known to exist, with maybe more than a dozen awaiting discovery. The asteroid, called 2024 PT5, is ...

Once in a blue moon might be more common than we thought. New images show that our moon is way more colorful than just shades of gray. Instead, the orbital rock was observed to show tints of both ...

For a few months last fall, a school-bus-size space rock named 2024 PT5 gained fame as Earth’s new “mini-moon.” Astronomers rushed to study the object while it was still close enough to ...

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.

Earth set to say goodbye to its ‘mini moon’ that could be a chunk of the real moon. The so-called mini moon will be overwhelmed by stronger tug of sun’s gravity.

It’s a “super moon,” which means that it is at perigee, at its closest position to Earth along its orbit. Compared to an average full moon, Monday’s moon will be about 7 percent larger and ...

To become a mini-moon, a cosmic body has to approach Earth at a comparatively close range of around 2.8 million miles while traveling at a relatively slow speed of around 2,200 mph.

For those in the United States, that means all lower 48 states should have a view. According to NASA, the moon will enter Earth's partial shadow at 8:41 PM EDT, but it's the peak of the eclipse ...
