After centuries of debate, scientists say they have finally proven Earth’s Moon is in fact not made of cheese (Editor's note: Aw, nuts!). A group of scientists recently published a research ...
Linking analyses of the moon's gravity field with models of its earliest evolution, scientists tell a story of the moon turning itself inside out after it solidified from a primordial magma ocean.
The moon turned itself inside out to to form the cratered surface we see today, according to scientists. Researchers combined computer simulations and data to show how oceans of magma sank and ...
About 4.5 billion years ago, a small planet smashed into the young Earth, flinging molten rock into space. Slowly, the debris coalesced, cooled and solidified, forming our moon. This scenario of ...
A team of astronomers believes the near-Earth asteroid Kamo'oalewa, a space rock between 130 and 328 feet in diameter, was once part of the Moon. More specifically, a research team led by Tsinghua ...
Scientists have finally discovered the sequence of events that likely led to the Earth’s moon turning itself inside out billions of years ago. Most of what researchers know about the moon’s ...
There are a lot of fairytales about the Moon, and they’re all pretty far-fetched. There’s a man up there, possibly marooned by god as a punishment for gathering sticks on the Sabbath.
Scientists seem to have figured out why the Moon is made up of such weird and heavy rocks: way back in the day, it turned itself inside out. For decades now, scientists have pretty much agreed that ...
