Subsequent data collected by moon-orbiting satellites showed titanium-abundant magmas, or "high-Ti basalts," are widespread across the moon. The origin of such rocks was difficult to explain.

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a ...

NASA's Apollo missions brought back moon rock samples for scientists to study. We've learned a great deal over the ensuing decades, but one enduring mystery remains. Many of those lunar samples ...

Moon rocks with unique dust found Research team studies interaction of dust with boulders and discovers potentially anomalous rocks Date: January 18, 2024 Source: University of Münster ...

The moon’s surface is relatively preserved, while Earth’s surface is continually recycled. Earth’s tectonic plates subduct older crust down into the mantle and raise new crust to the surface, as well ...

The Hendersonville-based Facebook group called HVL Rocks hides painted rocks, with finders having the option of re-hiding the rocks or keeping them. It all began in the spring of 2017, when ...

"[Supernovas make] tiny specks of rocks that can literally rain upon the Earth. They'll accumulate in the depths of the ocean ...

A space rock with a peculiar orbit may be a floating piece of the moon. Scientists had thought moon rocks weren't able to stay in orbit after a meteorite blast. The new discovery could help better ...

This week, unlock the moon’s true age with Apollo 17 samples, uncover dinosaur footprints on a beach, discover a hidden ancient Antarctic landscape, and more.

Earlier this week, China's Chang'e 6 lunar probe landed in Inner Mongolia, delivering the first-ever samples collected from the far side of the Moon. The mission has the international scientific ...

The meter-high rocks discovered in the work are located near the Reiner K crater in the "Reiner Gamma" region, which has a magnetic anomaly. Our Earth's Moon is almost completely covered in dust ...
