NASA’s upcoming Artemis II flight will be the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years, but it will not land on the moon. Here’s why.

The moon is pretty inhospitable to humans, but recent research has found that it's surprisingly possible for breathable air to eventually exist on its surface.

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.

The U.S. space agency and the Department of Energy will work together to build a fission reactor on the lunar surface in the next four years

Moon dust is sharp, corrosive, and potentially fatal. NASA’s new electric force field shield is designed to blast it away.

Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field. Rather than blocking particles, the magnetic field can funnel them along invisible lines that sometimes stretch all the way to the moon.

NASA’s lunar orbiter has just revealed a small, previously unseen impact scar on the Moon, a subtle feature that was hiding in plain sight on a surface already crowded with craters. The discovery, nicknamed a “freckle” by the scientists who analyzed ...

After a fairly eventful mission to the Moon's surface, Charles Duke left several items on the Moon, and a message to whoever might find them in the future.
