Moon’s Deep Canyons Created in Minutes by High Speed Impact Debris
The distribution of impact debris have also indicated that astronauts landing near the South Pole–Aitken basin may have easier access to some of the moon's oldest geological samples.

Earthquakes might trigger electrical charges in minerals like quartz, by helping tiny gold particles bond together to form larger nuggets. If this theory proves to be true, it could alter our understanding of gold's formation and mining processes.
This year's October's Hunter's Moon promises to be the biggest and brightest display of the year, making it inescapable for skywatchers.
The approval for the Chandrayaan-4 mission includes plans for lunar sample collection and analysis, further enhancing India’s scientific knowledge of the moon.
Science: Earth might gain another Moon, a miniature one, due to a rare phenomenon called gravitational trapping. In a rare celestial event, a ‘mini-moon’ will revolve around our planet Earth for two months.
The period of volcanic activity on the Moon contributed to the formation of its current surface features but had little direct impact on Earth.
The Moon's slow drift away from Earth is a result of tidal interactions between the two celestial bodies, where energy dissipation and angular momentum transfer play key roles.
Currently, Earth's Day is about 24 hours long. However, as the Moon continues to recede, it is expected that Earth’s rotational period will lengthen over geological time scales
