New Lunar Map Attempts to Identify the Origin Impact Craters of Rock Samples
A new map of the moon’s Mare Orientale basin highlights areas containing original impact melt. These findings could help date the basin’s formation, which is estimated to be 3.8 billion years old. Scientists believe this research may reveal Earth’s early impact history while guiding future lunar sample-return missions. The map also distinguis...

NASA's Perseverance Rover Observes Googly Eye Eclipse on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover has captured a rare astronomical event in which the Martian moon Phobos passed in front of the Sun, creating a visual reminiscent of a "googly eye." This event, observed from the Jezero Crater, provided insights into the dynamics of Mars' moons. Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons, obscured the Sun's disc for approximate...

Chandrayaan-3 Rover Discovers Ancient Moon Crater Older Than South Pole-Aitken Basin
Chandrayaan-3 has made a significant discovery by identifying an ancient crater on the moon, measuring 160 km in diameter. This crater is believed to be older than the South Pole-Aitken basin, one of the largest and oldest impact basins on the lunar surface. The data, collected by ISRO’s Pragyan rover and Vikram lander, offers valuable insights i...

Asteroid Impact Reoriented Jupiter’s Largest Moon Ganymede 4 Billion Years Ago
A colossal asteroid impact about 4 billion years ago dramatically altered Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon. The asteroid, estimated to be 186 miles wide, struck Ganymede with such force that it reoriented the moon and removed a significant portion of its original surface. This impact not only created a massive crater but also affected Ganymede's in...

ISRO Releases New Images of the Moon Captured by Chandrayaan-3's Vikram Lander: See Here
ISRO on Friday released a set of visuals of the Moon captured by cameras positioned on the Lander Module of Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft. The images, captured after the separation of the Lander Module from the Propulsion Module of the spacecraft on Thursday, showed the craters on the Moon's surface that were marked on the photographs released by ISRO a...

NASA's Sofia Telescope Discovers More Water on Lunar Surface at Moretus Crater Region
NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) telescope has discovered more water on the Moon's surface. The fresh findings of water have been made in the Southern Hemisphere of the Moon. The team have discovered water in the Moretus Crater region, which is close to the Moon's Clavius Crater, where the original findings were made.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Spots Rocket Impact Site on Moon, Says Research
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has discovered an impact occurred on the moon on March 4, which resulted in creating a crater. The double crater was unexpected and may indicate that the rocket body had large masses at each end.

Abandoned Rocket Debris May Have Crashed Into Far Side of Moon; Scientists Hope to Confirm in Coming Days
The state of a three-tonne discarded rocket part that should have crashed into the far side of the Moon by now is not known, say astronomers. Scientists had expected the rocket part to hit the lunar surface on Friday at a speed exceeding 8,800kmph, dig out a small crater, and create a plume of smoke. But there have been no such signs so far.
