The Trump administration's 2026 budget request cuts NASA funding by $6 billion, which would lead to the cancellation of Mars sample-return and other high-profile missions.

The next stages of NASA's moon program will be delayed due to technical issues, but officials claim they will still launch in time to beat China to the lunar surface.

The hydrated molecules were found inside a rock sample retrieved by China's Chang'e 5 mission in 2020

China's Chang'e-6 lunar module has returned from the moon's far side with samples in a historic mission. Its success is a key step toward understanding our planet's early history, and a milestone in the race with the U.S. to reach the moon's south pole.

Just a few laps of the wall a day may be enough to keep muscle wasting at bay, scientists say.

The moon's lower gravity means that time runs slower on its surface. With more moon missions planned, NASA has now been tasked by the White House to create a lunar time zone by 2026.

SpaceX's powerful Starship system spent roughly an hour in orbit performing test maneuvers for the first time ever. But two simultaneous communications errors means the rocket won't be recoverable.

More than 50 years after the Apollo era, major governments and well-funded private companies still struggle with lunar landing missions. Why is landing on the moon so hard in 2024?

The moon has been slowly shrinking for millions of years. Now, as Artemis 3 nears its 2026 launch date, geologists worry about whether moonquakes and lunar landslides will impact landing.
