The Moon is a constant in the night sky, but all is not actually as it seems. It turns out that scientists have discovered the Moon is drifting away from Earth, and it’s changing everything we thought we knew about our planet’s relationship with its only natural satellite. It’s also having a very real impact on the length of days on our planet – albeit at an incredibly slow rate. By moving away from Earth over the course of millions of years, the Moon is simultaneously making the length of the average day longer.A study by a team at the...

China achieved a historic feat by bringing back the first-ever sample from the lunar far side in June 2024. It’s moon lander, Chang'e 6, used a robotic scoop and drill to collect approximately 5 pounds (2 kilograms) of rocks and soil. These samples came back to Earth on June 25, 2024.

The moon has held a secret for decades, and scientists are closer than ever to cracking it. New research has focused on the ‘exosphere’ of thin gases that cling to the celestial body and form a type of atmosphere around it. The nature of this exosphere has baffled experts for decades, and until now researchers have always been unsure as to exactly why it is there. Because, in simple terms, it shouldn’t really exist at all due to the moon's lack of magnetic field.Now though, new research might have cleared up the mystery of its existence. A study published in...

NASA was reporting late Friday that an asteroid the size of an airplane traveling at an incomprehensible speed is headed Earth's direction, though it is unlikely to make contact, scientists said. The asteroid, named 2024 NB2, will get as close as 2,390,000 miles from Earth as it passes through the...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

NASA’s Curiosity rover recently made an astonishing discovery on Mars by accidentally crushing a boulder, revealing yellow sulfur crystals. This find is groundbreaking as it marks the first time rocks composed of pure sulfur have been observed on the Red Planet. The conditions required for sulfur crystal formation are typically limited and were not considered present in the region Curiosity explored. Since October 2023, Curiosity has been navigating an area abundant in sulfates, which are sulfur-containing salts formed through water evaporation. While previous detections involved sulfur mixed with other materials, this discovery of elemental sulfur challenges scientists’ understanding of Mars’s geological history. The unexpected nature of this find has sparked excitement among scientists, highlighting the unpredictable and thrilling aspects of planetary exploration.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
