The Korea Aerospace Research Institute shared images that show the gash on the surface. It’s pretty small.
Here’s when some of this year’s most anticipated astronomical events will happen and the best way to observe them.
Although no one captured a direct image of the impact, scientists have detected signals confirming the rocket hit the lunar surface. Orbiters could provide the first images of the crash site in the coming days.
The risk of more debris hitting the moon is on the rise as the space race heats up.
From how galaxies form to the beginnings of the universe, the images from the space telescope are giving cosmologists new data to explore—and theories to build out.
Everything you need to know about the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse that will occur in August 2026.
A discovery in a solar system 73 light-years from Earth is challenging definitions and “blurring the lines between stars, planets, and moons.”
The impact will kick up a plume of debris so high, it’ll likely be visible through some telescopes. Astronomers will be watching.
We like to think of our home as a nice, smooth sphere. But mapping the Earth’s gravitational field provides a different view of the planet.
Scientists have long assumed that there’s an upper limit to the intensity of the solar winds that reach Earth. New research suggests there’s not—and the implications are alarming.
