Imagery sent back by a satellite orbiting the Moon has revealed the largest, newly formed crater ever found in the solar ...

Scientists have discovered that the Moon-forming collision may have depended heavily on how hot and physically strong early ...

How did the Moon form and how fast did it happen? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated a potential new ...

A new crater on the moon has been found. And it's massive: at least the size of a three story building. Here's what the ...

The findings, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, account for the material strength of the two colliding worlds ...

The moon could have formed in a matter of hours following the giant impact between Earth and a Mars-size protoplanet early in the history of the solar system. The theory comes from new simulations ...

New simulations suggest the moon may have formed almost instantly after a giant impact, not slowly from a debris disk.
