Earth is no longer at risk of a direct collision with the asteroid 2024 YR4, but an impact on the moon in 2032 could send ...

Advanced simulations allow researchers to model various impact scenarios, providing insights into how the Earth-moon system evolved. Future lunar missions may offer additional clues.

It takes just about 27 days for the Moon we all know and love to make its way around the Earth, but it’s going to take far longer for a giant model of the Moon to do the same.

Advanced simulations allow researchers to model various impact scenarios, providing insights into how the Earth-moon system evolved. Future lunar missions may offer additional clues.

Dwarf planet Pluto and our Earth are the only two worlds in our solar system with very large moons. These may have come about by a "kiss and capture" process, which preserves a moon's large size.
