Some lunar scientists call it the most beautiful thing on the Moon: Reiner Gamma, a white, swirling, paisley-like pattern seemingly painted on the far reaches the Moon’s northwest quadrant. It’s a ...

This animation, made from images taken by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA’s SMART-1 spacecraft, shows a feature characterised by bright albedo, and called Reiner Gamma ...

In the first row, from left to right, the four panels show the distribution of magnetization in the profiles of depth versus latitude at 302°E related to depth constraints of the inversion region at ...

The Moon is getting another instrument to explore its vast history as the Magnetic Anomaly Plasma Spectrometer (MAPS) instrument developed by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has been delivered ...

The lunar surface is a harsh landscape; a bone-dry expanse of impact-pummelled rock whose "seas" have long been known as a misnomer. The only precipitation is in the form of solar and cosmic radiation ...

Scientists have come up with a new theory about what is causing mysterious swirls on the Moon’s surface. The latest theory involves underground lava, magnetized rocks, and magnetic anomalies. Lunar ...

(Nanowerk News) Our Earth's Moon is almost completely covered in dust. Unlike on Earth, this dust is not smoothed by wind and weather, but is sharp-edged and also electrostatically charged. This dust ...
