Jupiter's Moon Rocks: Record-Breaking Volcanic Blast Caught On Camera
The simultaneous eruption of multiple volcanoes suggests a vast, interconnected network of magma exists beneath the surface, powered by the intense gravitational pull of Jupiter.

Giant Ancient Collision May Have ‘Flipped’ the Moon’s Interior, Study Suggests
Scientists analyzing lunar samples from China’s Chang’e-6 mission have uncovered evidence of a colossal ancient asteroid impact. Elevated levels of heavy potassium isotopes suggest extreme heating that drove lighter elements into space, potentially explaining why the Moon’s far side lacks dark volcanic plains seen on the near side.

A Nearby Planet May Have Formed the Moon Following a Collision With Early Earth: Study
A new analysis of Apollo samples and Earth rocks suggests that a nearby rocky planet, not a distant object, collided with early Earth and formed the moon. The study argues that this lost planet, Theia, originated in the inner solar system and shared Earth’s early neighbourhood, offering fresh insight into one of the most important events in our p...

Study Traces Moon-Forming Impact to an Inner Solar System Neighbour Named Theia
A new isotopic study reveals that Theia—the Mars-sized body that struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form the Moon—likely originated in the inner Solar System, close to Earth’s birthplace. By comparing heavy-element isotope ratios in lunar rocks, Earth samples, and meteorites, researchers found identical signatures, showing both worlds form...

Scientist Claims Alien Probes May Be In Plain Sight, Observing Earth's Growing Intelligence
Ellery suggested that building a nuclear reactor on the Moon could yield chemical signatures that could be explored in the future.

All About Asteroid 2025 PN7, Earth's New Quasi-Moon
2025 PN7 is a small, 18-36 meter wide space rock that's been dubbed Earth's "second moon" due to its unique orbit.

Lunar Samples Reveal Far Side of the Moon Is Cooler Than Near Side
China’s Chang’e 6 mission has revealed the moon’s far side is cooler than its near side, with samples showing a 180°F difference in formation temperatures. Researchers suggest uneven distribution of radioactive elements shaped these contrasts, offering the first physical evidence of a deep interior thermal divide in lunar history.

OnePlus 15 Display Specifications Leaked; Said to Arrive in New Black Colourway
The OnePlus 15 is expected to feature a 1.5K LTPO display with up to 165Hz refresh rate and a new performance system enabling 165fps native gaming, making it the smoothest OnePlus phone yet. It may debut in a new “Moon Rock Black” colourway and come with a refined sandstone-textured protective case. The handset is tipped to come with a Snapdrag...
