Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field.

Scientists say Earth’s magnetic field may have funneled atmospheric particles to the moon for billions of years. Lunar soil could preserve a record of Earth’s past while providing resources for future ...

Over 4.6 billion years ago, Earth took shape from a spinning cloud of dust and gas surrounding the young sun. Tiny particles within this cloud collided and clumped together, driven by gravity and ...

The object, the latest “quasi-moon” detected by astronomers, could be with us for almost another 60 years. By Robin George Andrews The Earth stands alone in the solar system as a habitable world, as ...

A new dataset from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory maps one million cis-lunar orbits, highlighting orbital stability challenges, space domain awareness needs, and planning requirements for Moon ...

Understanding how the Sun and its activity impact Earth and the solar system is important because solar storms affect the technology we use on Earth and in space. Now, a team of heliophysicists and ...

Multiple impacts on Earth might better explain our moon’s origin than a single giant impact 4.5 billion years ago – and could help solve one of its biggest mysteries. But Earth and the moon are ...
