The hopper will carry a water molecule analyzer into permanently shadowed craters. China is preparing to launch a pioneering mission to the moon next year to search for definitive evidence of ...

A new study by scientists suggests that an asteroid impact on the Moon blasted two huge craters within a matter of minutes. Located close to the Moon's south pole, their sizes have been compared ...

The Earth's Grand Canyon took millions of years to carve, but the moon's grand canyons took about ten minutes.

But some scientists believe only ice – thought to be preserved deep in craters on the moon’s far side – could potentially support future lunar missions as a water source for astronauts.

The vast valleys of Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck demonstrate the incredible forces that shaped the face of the Moon.
