Crater Of Moon

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...

India's lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 possibly landed in one of the oldest craters of the Moon, according to scientists who analysed images from the mission and satellites.

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...

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...

A study has revealed evidence for enhanced possibility of water ice occurrence in the polar craters of the Moon, according to ISRO.

The mosaic reveals unprecedented detail of the lunar South Pole region and highlights a scenic crater called the Shackleton Crater.

India's space agency has shared a video of the Pragyan rover being rotated on the Moon's surface - remotely from the command centre in Bengaluru - in search of a route that avoids the many craters and rocks that dot the lunar surface.

Ahead of the touchdown, Vikram clicked the images of the Moon's craters on the unexplored lunar south pole region, which always faces away from the Earth.

The latest images of the Moon taken by the Chandrayaan-3's lander identified some of the prominent craters on its far side, which always faces away from the Earth.

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...

An astrophotographer recently captured a breathtaking clear photo of the Moon, revealing countless crater marks and ridges illuminated by the Sun.

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 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.

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.

Astronomers won't be able to observe the crash, but expect its image will be taken by NASA's orbiter of India's Chandrayaan 2.
