The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter snaps a picture of the Chang'e 5 lander looking like a needle in a haystack.

For the first time, the presence of water on the moon's sunlit surface has been confirmed. The latest findings could expand the possibilities for landing spots for robots and astronauts.

Clearing misconceptions about the discovery and nature of water on the Moon.

Scientists have been turning up evidence for the existence of water on the moon for decades, but there's always been a nagging doubt: Maybe the source of the...

The moon's shadowed, frigid nooks and crannies may hold frozen water in more places and in larger quantities than previously suspected.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The moon's shadowed, frigid nooks and crannies may hold...

A telescope in the back of a 747 finally puts to rest a longstanding question about lunar water.

NASA may need to mine water from the moon in order to send astronauts into deep space. Two new studies reveal the best spots to find that ice.

The near-instantaneously formed lunar mountains offer a peek into the Moon's interior and improve our understanding of the Solar System.

And why the scars left by meteoritic impacts tell us about life, the universe, and everything.

Much of the Eastern Hemisphere will see a penumbral lunar eclipse on Friday, but to North America, it will be just a regular full moon.

Autonomous robots and vehicles must occasionally recover from locomotion failure in loosely consolidated granular terrain. Recent mobility challenges led NASA Johnson Space Center to develop a prototype robotic lunar rover Resource Prospector 15 (RP15) capable of wheeled, legged, and crawling behavior. To systematically understand the terradynamic performance of such a device, we developed a scaled-down rover robot…

The designing of such a sharp, comprehensive map is a breakthrough in the field of lunar studies as it can help scientists understand the Moon better.

A team of researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey, the Lunar and Planetary Institute and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology has released a seamless, globally consistent, 1:5,000,000-scale geologic map of the Moon.

Hot damn, look at the freakin' Moon!
