Humans On The Moon

NASA’s upcoming Lunar Trailblazer mission aims to explore and map water on the Moon. Set for launch next year, this satellite will utilise advanced instruments to identify and measure water in various forms. It will investigate permanently shadowed craters and surface features to gather insights about lunar water's origins and its potential for f...

NASA has identified nine candidate landing regions for the Artemis III mission, which marks humanity’s return to the Moon after fifty years. The selected regions are near the lunar South Pole, rich in scientific opportunities. These areas will be assessed for geological features and resource potential, especially water. Future missions will also ...

Astronauts walking on the moon as part of NASA's first human mission to the lunar South Pole will be wearing Prada, as part of a new venture unveiled.

Indian scientists found that during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, lunar temperatures dropped by 8-10 Kelvin. The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, analysed data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, comparing six sites on the Moon’s surface between 2017 and 2023. The temperature drop is lin...

This study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, underscores the link between Earth and the Moon.

In May 2024, Earth experienced a magnificent geomagnetic storm, leading to dazzling auroras across the skies. During this event, NASA’s BioSentinel spacecraft collected essential data on solar radiation while orbiting the Sun over 30 million miles away. This research is vital for understanding the effects of radiation in deep space, especially as...

Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, has openly questioned whether he will live to see humans colonize Mars. Speaking at the Satellite 2020 conference, Musk highlighted the slow pace of advancements in space travel and the enormous challenges that remain. Despite the remarkable achievements of SpaceX, including the successful launches of Falcon 9 and ...

Scientists have found evidence for an accessible cave conduit beneath the moon's surface. The location of the underground cave is not far from Apollo 11's landing site.

Developing housing on the Moon is an emerging focus for space agencies across the world. US space agency NASA has developed the Artemis programme, with an aim that humans will inhabit lunar residences by 2040.

The Indian Space Research Organisation is setting its sights again on the Moon after a successful Chandrayaan-3 mission last year, but now it plans to send humans to the natural satellite.

The human spaceflight programme will be used as a springboard to send an Indian to the Moon by 2040 and the Chandrayaan missions will also play a key role in this, ISRO Chairman S Somanath has told NDTV.

Retired astronaut William Anders, one of the first three humans to orbit the moon, who captured the "Earthrise" photo during NASA's Apollo 8 mission, died on Friday when the small plane he was piloting crashed in Washington state.

This move is seen as an attempt to save a portion of human history in the event that the survival of humans on Earth is ever threatened.

US space scientists on Thursday unveiled the interplanetary probe NASA plans to send to one of Jupiter's icy moons as part of humanity's hunt for extra-terrestrial life.

"This image from February 22nd showcases the crescent Earth in the backdrop, a subtle reminder of humanity's presence in the universe," Intuitive Machines wrote on X.
