An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is offering new clues about why the two sides of the moon - the one perpetually facing Earth and the other ...

NASA’s GRAIL mission reveals thermal differences in the moon’s mantle, explaining surface contrasts between its sides.

Because the force of gravity is stronger at shorter ... forces could have significantly heated the Moon when its orbit was between 16 to 22 Earth radii distant. This region is called the Laplace ...

Two new studies used gravity data to pull back the curtain on the deep interiors of the Moon and one of the solar system’s largest asteroids.

The finding could explain the long-running mystery of why the surfaces of the lunar near and far sides are so different.

Tiny particles within this cloud collided and clumped together, driven by gravity and chance ... reveal striking similarities between Earth and the moon. For instance, oxygen isotopes in both ...

The skydiver won’t feel any gravity at that point until opening a parachute. If we put the skydiver into space — let’s say halfway between the Earth and the moon — the same thing will happen.

NASA scientists said Wednesday that they’ve unearthed new secrets about the moon. Specifically, they’ve gotten a better look ...
