2 天之前 · Observers on Earth can track the Moon's motion in space (relative to Earth and the Sun) through moon phases, supermoons and eclipses. On the night of March 13 or early in the morning of March 14, depending on time zone, the Moon will pass into Earth’s shadow and appear to turn red. Here's what you need to know.

In geophysical terms, the Moon is a planetary-mass object or satellite planet. Its mass is 1.2% that of the Earth, and its diameter is 3,474 km (2,159 mi), roughly one-quarter of Earth's (about as wide as the contiguous United States).

2025年1月30日 · More than 105 robotic spacecraft have been launched to explore the Moon. It is the only celestial body beyond Earth – so far – visited by human beings. The Moon's weak atmosphere and its lack of liquid water cannot support life as we know it. Apollo astronauts brought back a total of 842 pounds (382 kilograms) of lunar rocks and soil to Earth.

2022年12月11日 · NASA is develop next-generation spacesuits, human-rated rovers, and spacewalking support systems to help astronauts traverse the lunar surface. This is the Artemis Generation. We go to the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and inspiration for a new generation of explorers: the Artemis Generation.

2025年3月25日 · Earth has just one moon – a rocky, cratered place, roughly a quarter the size of Earth and an average of 238,855 miles away. The Moon can be seen with the naked eye most nights as it traces its 27-day orbit around our planet.

2025年3月26日 · Four astronauts will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA's path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration through Artemis. The 10-day flight will test NASA's foundational human deep space exploration capabilities, the SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft, for the first time with ...

3 天之前 · Moon, Earth’s sole natural satellite and nearest celestial body. Known since prehistoric times, it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun. Its name in English, like that of Earth, is of Germanic and Old English derivation.

The brightest and largest object in our night sky, the Moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet's wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate. It also causes tides, creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years.

1 天前 · NASA has big plans for the moon via its Artemis program, which aims to set up one or more lunar bases in the next decade or so. But regolith presents a significant issue for lunar hardware ...

2024年10月29日 · NASA's Artemis 2 lunar mission in 2024 will send the first astronauts around the moon in nearly 50 years. The mission will launch four astronauts around the moon on a lunar flyby aboard an...
