A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar ...

Scientists say Earth’s magnetic field may have funneled atmospheric particles to the moon for billions of years. Lunar soil could preserve a record of Earth’s past while providing resources for future ...

The moon's orbit isn't a perfect circle. Instead, it's more stretched out, kind of like an oval, which means its distance from Earth varies by about 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The surface of the moon ...

Recent studies suggest that the Moon, now a barren world with a negligible atmosphere, may once have had an atmosphere akin to Earth’s. This intriguing possibility is based on new research analyzing ...

The moon's surface may be more than just a dusty, barren landscape. Over billions of years, tiny particles from Earth's atmosphere have landed in the lunar soil, creating a possible source of ...

The moon's thin atmosphere, called an exosphere, has been a puzzle to science for some time. Two main processes were thought to create this wispy gas envelope; tiny meteoroids hitting the surface and ...
