Placing a mass driver on the moon has long been a dream of space exploration enthusiasts. It would open up so many ...

You may have seen videos of astronauts jumping on the moon. Their movements appear bouncier and lighter than how we move on Earth, and this is thanks to gravity. Gravity is "the force by which a ...

This week's full Beaver Moon will be the last supermoon for 11 months. And the next time we see a supermoon, our satellite ...

Not only is it a supermoon, meaning our lunar satellite will be slightly brighter and closer, but it's the last supermoon ...

Using Einstein’s theory of general relativity, physicists found that clocks on the Moon would run 56 microseconds faster than ...

New research suggests a moon orbiting the sophomoric-sounding planet might contain enough natural resources to support alien ...

The presence of a partially-molten layer between the Moon's rocky mantle and solid metal core is looking more likely following a study on its changing shape and gravity. Researchers from the NASA ...

But what if those skills were amplified by the lesser gravity of the moon? Produced by Justin Gmoser and Jessica Orwig. Original graphics by Dragan Radovanovic. Follow BI Video: On Twitter More ...

Scientists have developed a new method to compute how tides affect the interiors of planets and moons. Importantly, the new ...

When teachers explain ocean tides, they frequently describe how the moon's gravity pulls on Earth and all of its water. This, they often say, leads to a gravitational imbalance, which stretches ...

The ambitious mission won't actually look for life on Jupiter's moon Europa, but it should find out if the presumed ocean provides a habitable environment.
