Scientists say, the length of a day on Earth might extend to 25 hours as the Moon, is drifting away from the planet. According to a research conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Moon has been receding from Earth at a rate of approximately 3.8 centimetres per year. Over time, this could result in …
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow that transforms daylight into brief darkness. This captivating event, which can be partial or total, offers a rare opportunity to observe the Sun’s corona and gather invaluable scientific data. The path of totality during a solar eclipse reveals …
 "Scientists find caves under Moon’s surface, can be used as shelter for astronauts, researchers – Firstpost")
These caves offer several benefits for potential moonbases or emergency shelters. The temperature inside remains relatively stable, and they provide natural protection from cosmic rays, solar radiation, and micrometeorites. Image Credit: Space.com, NASA Researchers have discovered a significant underground cave on the moon, accessible from the surface, which could become a prime location for a …
An international team of scientists has confirmed the existence of a sizable cave on the moon, potentially paving the way for future lunar habitats. The cave is located just 400 kilometres from the Apollo 11 landing site in the Sea of Tranquility, where astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made their historic moonwalk 55 years …
With constant advancements in the space and technology field, and more private, commercial and multinational spaceflight providers and flyers entering the market, the human interaction with space is only going to increase in the future. In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA scientists have been able to figure out how much faster time moves on Moon compared …
A close enCOWnter of the surprise kind on the Moon? A shock and awe moment happened for these NASA Moonwalkers as they ran into a cow. Is that a cow on the moon? NASA astronauts run into the four-legged creature in a surprise moment. (NASA) Yes, these moonwalkers were going about their business doing …
Landing on the Moon is something humanity has done before and, hopefully, will do again with relative ease once the Artemis program really gets going. At least that’s how it looks from the sidelines, because if you really dig into the matter you’ll be astonished at how many problems need to be overcome for a …
Two asteroids, one of them discovered earlier in June, passed by the Earth this week, a rare occurrence with serendipitous timing to commemorate the International Asteroid Day, according to space agencies around the world.None of the asteroids posed any threat to the planet, they said. Explaining the footage taken by The Virtual Telescope Project, astrophysicist …
China’s Chang’e-6 mission, which returned this week from the far side of the Moon, has brought back nearly two kilogrammes of samples for research which will further enhance the understanding of lunar evolution, the country’s space agency announced on Friday. Based on the preliminary measurement, the Chang’e-6 mission collected 1,935.3 grams of lunar samples, according …
To understand the origins of this carbon, the Chinese research team said a study of young lunar samples – just 2 billion years old – could help them to “unravel the crystalline structure of the indigenous carbon” present on the moon. After analysing the graphene found in the sample, the researchers concluded that the moon …
