Blue Origin's famed New Shepard spacecraft successfully simulated the moon's low gravity on board its capsule during a brief flight Tuesday morning over West Texas.. Video of the uncrewed launch ...

The moon does, however, experience changes in its shape and gravity. You may like Volcanoes shaped the moon from the inside out, scientists find: 'Our team was genuinely puzzled' ...

The moon's diameter of about 2,160 miles (3,475 km) is a bit more than a quarter of Earth's diameter. The lunar mantle is the layer located beneath the crust and above the core, spanning a depth ...

When NASA sends a rover or other piece of technology to the moon, there is no guarantee it will work under lunar gravity—an object that weighs 100 pounds on Earth weighs just 16.5 pounds on the ...

Here on the surface of Earth our options to alter gravity are limited. Well, not even “limited,” really, they’re pretty much nonexistent. In space, things … ...

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company gave NASA a brief taste of the moon’s gravity Tuesday, without straying too far from home. Blue Origin launched the 29 lunar technology experiments to the edge of ...

Current theories of the Moon’s formation favor both the Earth and Moon forming from the debris created by the collision of a Mars-sized world with the proto-Earth about 4.5 billion years ago.

Because there is less gravity on the moon, time passes just a bit more quickly up there, with atomic clocks advancing about 56 microseconds per day faster than those on Earth.

The moon does, however, experience changes in its shape and gravity. How the moon responds to these tidal forces is, to a large degree, dependent on its internal structure.
