A groundbreaking study in Nature has shaken up our understanding of the moon’s formation. This research suggests that the moon was born during Earth’s earliest days, revolutionizing the timeline of ...

A half century after NASA's Apollo 17 lunar module lifted off the moon's northeastern near side quadrant, planetary scientists still don't completely understand when or how our moon first formed. They ...

To our best of our understanding, the Moon formed from Earth following a colossal impact. A Mars-sized world we nicknamed Theia slammed and merged with the primordial Earth, throwing material into ...

Eons ago, in the frigid depths of our solar system, a dramatic collision occurred between two icy worlds. Instead of a catastrophic smash-up, the two bodies "kissed," merging temporarily like a ...

A lightweight new X-ray telescope could finally give scientists something they’ve never had before: a complete chemical map ...

That timeline is based on analyses of lunar rock samples from NASA’s Apollo missions. But the new study suggests that the moon formed earlier — around 4.51 billion years ago — and then experienced a ...

How did the Moon form? Was it from a collision, as has been the longstanding theory, or could it have been captured by the Earth early in our planet’s formation? This is what a recent study published ...

The largest and oldest crater on the moon did not form as we initially suspected, a new study suggests. The findings hint that a specific region of the lunar surface could be more scientifically ...

February 11, 2026, Mountain View, CA – Recent research suggests that Saturn’s bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons. While Cassini’s 13-year ...

(CNN) – The moon may be 100 million years older than planetary scientists thought. The moon has long been thought to have formed roughly 4.35 billion years ago after a Mars-sized object collided with ...
