Artemis 2 Mission Starts Return Trip to Earth After Historic Lunar Flyby
NASA’s Artemis 2 mission has now set its sights on Earth after the successful completion of the lunar flyby. During the flyby, the crew set a new record for the maximum distance travelled by a human from the Earth. They also observed the far side of the lunar surface and had the opportunity to witness a rare solar eclipse as well.

Lunar Surface Is Cracking as New Tectonic Map Reveals Recent Ridges Stretching Across the Moon, Study Suggests
A new global map of small mare ridges suggests the Moon’s tectonic activity is younger and more widespread than previously believed. Researchers identified more than 1,100 previously unknown ridges, showing the lunar crust is still shrinking. These features, formed by thrust faults similar to lobate scarps, indicate moonquakes could occur across ...

NASA Selects Three New Lunar Science Instruments for Artemis Moon Missions
NASA has selected three new lunar science instruments to fly to the Moon under the Artemis program through its Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. Delivered by U.S. commercial landers by 2028, the payloads will map surface temperatures, probe subsurface heat flow, and measure radiation, supporting future astronaut safety, navigation, and ...

Scientists Just Solved the Mystery of the Moon’s Lopsided Dust Halo
Scientists have solved why the Moon’s dust cloud is uneven: heat. Using computer models, researchers found that meteor impacts on the Moon’s sunlit surface fling 6–8% more dust into space than on the cold night side, creating a lopsided halo. NASA warns this dust could threaten future landers and astronauts.
