A massive asteroid, designated 2024 YR4, is locked on a collision course with the Moon, raising global alarm. Scientists warn that while the lunar impact is imminent, Earth could be at risk from debris or future trajectories, sparking urgent monitoring efforts.

2032 Countdown: Massive Asteroid Locked on Moon, Earth Could Be Next Target

Scientists are tracking potential asteroid threats in 2032, raising questions about what could happen if an asteroid were to strike the Moon instead of Earth. While Earth may avoid a direct hit, a lunar impact could still have serious consequences, from debris clouds to possible effects on satellites and space missions.

What Happens if an Asteroid Hits the Moon? The 2032 Earth Warning

The Moon's far side and near side are different from each other. China's Chang'e-6 mission has revealed how an ancient impact changed the far side of the Moon, and how its composition varies from the near side.

Moon has been pulling away material from Earth for billions of years, according to a new study. Scientists say that it did not happen before the magnetic field was formed, but instead, this process is facilitated by our planet's magnetic tail.

Earth's tail has been helping Moon steal from our planet for billions of years

An Earth-like volcano has been identified on the Moon that last erupted 3.5 billion years ago. Scientists say the higher temperature here gave it away. But what is generating heat if the volcano has not erupted in all these years? Here is what is happening.

India's space agency ISRO says that analysis of the Chandrayaan-3 lander data obtained from data from August 23, 2023 to September 03, 2023 shows first-of-its-kind of results on the plasma environment near the Moon’s surface at the Southern higher latitudes, revealing that the electrical environment near the Moon's surface at the South Polar Region is far more active than previously understood.


ISRO reveals electrified Moon environment

ISRO has revealed a groundbreaking discovery: the lunar south pole is electrically active, with Chandrayaan-3 detecting surprising electrical activity in the region. This electrified moon environment, previously unknown, suggests dynamic interactions between the lunar surface and solar radiation, potentially reshaping scientific understanding of the Moon’s geophysics.

A group of astronomers claim they have found the first exomoon in the universe. While we know about around 6,000 exoplanets, an exomoon has never been found. That might soon change if the latest finding is confirmed by other astronomers. 

133 light-years away, astronomers may have spotted a ‘monster’ exomoon for the first time

New research reveals the origin of the Moon! Scientists say Earth and its cosmic neighbor Theia were close neighbors before a massive collision.
This cataclysmic impact between Theia and Earth ultimately led to the Moon’s formation, shedding light on the true birthplace of our natural satellite

Moon-Maker Mystery Solved: Theia Collided with Earth to Form the Moon

Where did the Moon really come from? A groundbreaking new study has traced lunar origins to an inner-solar-system planet — a possible twin of early Earth. Using ancient rock samples and advanced modelling, researchers may have uncovered the true identity of the world that collided with Earth and gave birth to the Moon.
Is the Moon’s “lost parent” hiding in plain sight?
This explainer breaks down the discovery, the science behind the collision, and how it rewrites lunar history.


How Earth's Twin Killed Itself to Create the Moon

A cosmic collision between the ancient planet Theia and Earth billions of years ago gave birth to the Moon. Scientists have now analyzed evidence confirming this dramatic event, solving one of astronomy’s oldest mysteries. This video explains the findings, the impact process, and what it tells us about the early solar system.

A groundbreaking ISRO study reveals strong evidence of water ice hidden beneath the Moon’s polar craters. Using Chandrayaan mission data, scientists found sub-surface ice levels up to eight times higher than surface deposits — a major step toward understanding lunar resources. The discovery could redefine future Moon missions, from habitation plans to fuel generation.

The race to the moon is not only influenced by the dream to put man on the moon again, but also because of the abundant resources it offers. One such element has long been proposed to produce clean fuel, and Earth does not make enough of it.

Earth’s nearest body hides space's most valuable element, and mining missions are on

The Moon was struck by two asteroids last week, and the activity was caught on camera by a Japanese astronomer. The impact has likely gouged craters several feet wide. There were massive bursts of light upon collision.

The Artemis Moon mission is in trouble. SpaceX is now falling behind schedule on the Starship lunar lander, forcing NASA to take drastic action. The agency just launched an open call, inviting rivals like Blue Origin and Lockheed Martin to submit new designs for the crucial Human Landing System. This multi-billion US dollar development is a seismic shift in the new space race. Will Elon Musk be booted from the history-making return to the Moon? We break down the crippling delays, the high-stakes engineering challenge, and the future of America's path to the lunar surface.

What SpaceX Out of NASA's Moon Mission, Big Blow to Musk!

The lunar orbiter of India’s second moon mission Chandrayaan-2, launched in 2019, has made the first-ever observation of the effects of the Sun's Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on the Moon.

A scientist has made a strange claim about the Moon, stating that 50,000 years ago, a civilisation that spiralled from humans lived on the lunar body. He claims US and Russia hid evidence about it, but now India and China will uncover the truth with their upcoming missions.

The distance of the Moon changes over the course of a month as it revolves around the Earth. The moon's orbit is not a perfect circle and changes by about 12,400 miles (20,000 km) while orbiting the Earth. 

Moon drifting away from Earth? Scientists claim THIS is the reason behind strange phenomenon

This discovery challenges existing assumptions, because both abundant oxygen and liquid water, normally required for rust formation, are largely absent on the Moon.
