Astronomers have discovered a mysterious and brilliant geological object never seen before in Ligeia Mare, the second largest sea on Titan, the moon of Saturn.

A team of astrophysicists from Penn State University (USA) believes they have solved why the far side of our satellite from Earth looks different from what we can see from here. The visible side is full of craters, mountains and large basalt plains called "maría" (from the Latin 'seas', plural), but the hidden side lacks "marías". Why?

Astronomers have long believed that our Moon formed after a collision between Earth and another planet called Theia about 4.5 billion years ago, but studies of Earth and lunar rocks suggested otherwise. Now, a new analysis of the composition of lunar rocks collected by astronauts from the Apollo missions may help finally solve this mystery.

NASA asks Internet users for help to select the most impressive image of the lunar surface taken by one of its probes after five years in space.

NASA will release in the coming weeks a gallery of 24 images of the Moon captured by the most advanced probe sent to our satellite.

Curiosities of the natural satellite of the Earth.

During the morning of this Tuesday, April 15, a total lunar eclipse will take place that will inaugurate the period popularly known as 'four blood moons', an event that had not occurred for 10 years.

Thanks to the discovery by an international team of scientists of a "geological clock" based on measurements of the Earth's interior and computer simulations of the protoplanetary disk from which the Earth and other planets later formed, the age has been determined. exact of the Moon.
