Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus lander captures an image high over Australia as it heads toward the moon. There’s much debate as to whether the dot to the left of Earth is the second-stage booster (which is seen more clearly in the first of the four images) or the moon, or something els...
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival fell when the moon was near its perigee in the Earth-moon orbit, so the moon appeared about 14 percent larger than a typical full moon and shined brighter, earning it the title of "supermoon". This presented a great opportunity for astronomical observations. ...
This photo taken and beamed back to Earth autonomously by a mini rover released from the lander-ascender combination of Chang'e-6 probe shows a view of the combination itself on the lunar surface, June 3, 2024. The ascender of China's Chang'e-6 probe lifted off from lunar surface on Tu...
A NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) was quietly doing what it always does — capturing the Earth as it rotates along its axis during its orbit around the sun — when the moon swooped in and photobombed DSCOVR’s snaps for the second time in a year.“...

The Einstein Probe X-ray astronomical satellite transmitted X-ray images of the moon back to Earth on Tuesday, which was Mid-Autumn Festival. This marks the first time that Chinese scientists have obtained a complete X-ray image of the moon using a self-developed space telescope. ...
This lead image from Raven Yu from the Philippines shows the difference in size between last night’s perigee Moon and the apogee Moon (when it was farthest from Earth during its orbit) last November. If you want to find out more about the science of the perigee Super Moon, read our det...
The moon is constantly bombarded by cosmic radiation and, unlike the Earth which has a magnetic field to keep it safe, there is no protection on the lunar surface from these potentially dangerous particles. Now, a study has measured the levels of radiation on the moon for the first time and...
