The Earth's Grand Canyon took millions of years to carve, but the moon's grand canyons took about ten minutes.

This moon phase is nicknamed the Wolf Moon, which is rooted in Native American culture.

Early interactions with the Earth may have heated up the Moon and caused it to remelt, producing new lunar rocks and erasing old craters.

The Houston-based company has pulled off the first successful commercial landing on the lunar surface. It's America's first soft landing in decades.

If successful, the uncrewed spacecraft would be the first U.S. lunar landing in more than 50 years, and would mean one giant leap for the commercial space sector.

An unmanned lunar spacecraft has captured and transmitted data analyzing lunar rocks, an achievement that could help provide clues about the origin of the moon, a Japan space agency official said

A Japanese moon explorer is up and running Monday after several tense days without the sunlight it needs to generate power.

Japan is now the fifth country to pull off a soft landing on the moon. A Japanese space agency manager earlier called the landing "a breathless, numbing 20 minutes of terror!"
