How did the Moon form? Was it from a collision, as has been the longstanding theory, or could it have been captured by the Earth early in our planet’s formation? This is what a recent study published ...

Scientists continue to explore the deep story of how Earth and the moon formed. One idea has gained attention because it pushes us to imagine the planet in its earliest and wildest days.

The largest and oldest crater on the moon did not form as we initially suspected, a new study suggests. The findings hint that a specific region of the lunar surface could be more scientifically ...

Over 4.6 billion years ago, Earth took shape from a spinning cloud of dust and gas surrounding the young sun. Tiny particles within this cloud collided and clumped together, driven by gravity and ...

"Our results represent the most globally complete understanding of recent lunar tectonism to date," Nypaver said. "The presence of these additional tectonic features in the lunar maria suggests that ...

The moon was formed 4.5 billion years ago in a "giant impact" that left Earth with a two-hour day, according to new research. Scientists have long debated the circumstances which led to the formation ...
