Moon

Skygazers were treated to the first full moon of the year on Monday, and there's still a chance to see the bright orb.

Data taken from the last 50 years shows a clear correlation between shark attacks and the lunar phase, the researchers said.

Each moon is named after the title given to it by civilizations from around the world.

NASA declared the past three days a "full moon weekend," with December's Cold Moon the longest and final full moon of 2021 lasting from Friday to Monday morning.

The hellishly hot cloudy planet is slowly making its way toward the horizon this month, shining brightly as it does so.

The blurry cube was spotted from a distance and may well just be a lump of rock. Of course, Twitter thinks it could be aliens.

NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory requested proposals for an initial design for a nuclear fission power plant on the moon.

People who missed the lunar eclipse in the early hours of Friday may be able to catch another one next year.

The event was the longest partial lunar eclipse since 1440, clocking in at around three-and-a-half hours.

Space missions could also carry "bacterial invaders" to unspoiled alien worlds such as Mars and the moon.

This special Moon is due to make an appearance this week, coinciding with the longest partial lunar eclipse of the century, visible from North America.

During this "almost total eclipse," the longest partial eclipse for a century, the moon will move into Earth's shadow and take on a red coloration.

The Leonids are characterized by fast bright meteors, many of which have persistent trains—trails of vaporized material that glow in the sky.

The natural phenomenon causes the moon to be cast into shadow, sometimes giving it a reddish color at night.

Stargazers are also being treated to the sight of the moon approaching and then bypassing each of the three planets this week.

The moon is expected to glide past more planets over the next few days, providing an opportunity for skywatchers to snap photos.

The blood moon, also known as a Hunter's Moon appeared in the sky on Oct. 21.

The full moon should be visible for around three days this week due to its monthly orbit around the Earth.

Blood moon, supermoon, strawberry moon and the ring of fire: all impressive names, but what exactly do they mean?

The video shared on TikTok claims to show the moon orbiting so close to the Earth that it takes up almost the entire sky.

In a new model—known as the "hit, run and return" scenario—smaller bodies repeatedly hit Earth and Venus during their formation.

Russian space agency Roscosmos has put out for tender a study into how manned flights to the Moon might work.

The winning team could also see their robots used in underground rescue missions on Earth as well as scooping $2 million in prize money.

Seen from Vietnam to New York, images show this year's bright Harvest Moon—a sign that summer is coming to a close.

The new space-age building material that could be used for colonization of the Moon and Mars is based on a concept that is "literally blood-curdling."

September's moon falls days before the Autumn equinox.

Scientists hope the robots will be able to function autonomously, and collaborate with one another.

It wasn't actually blue, but the full moon still captured the attention of many this weekend. The next blue moon is not due to take place until 2023.

SpaceX is developing a lunar lander that can be used to shuttle people back and forth to the moon's surface.

Also known as the corn and harvest moon, the August full moon is set to rise later this month, but there will be a number of other sky-gazing opportunities before then.
