While tracking the Moon through a telescope in daylight,... an unusual object appeared near the lunar surface during a brief observation. The exact nature of the object cannot be determined from a single recording, and multiple explanations may exist, including a meteoroid, satellite transit, or imaging effect. Observations like this are a reminder of how dynamic the space environment can be. A brief passage near the Moon... captured in broad daylight. #moon #astronomy #telescope #space #nasashow more

While observing the Moon in daylight, a telescope recorded... an unusual object approaching the lunar surface before a brief flash-like event was seen. The exact nature of the object and the event cannot be confirmed from a single observation. Possible explanations include a meteoroid, a satellite transit, or another transient phenomenon. Events like these highlight the challenges and excitement of lunar observation. A rare daytime sighting... captured against the bright lunar surface.show more

While observing the Moon, a telescope captured a fast-moving... object briefly passing near the lunar surface. The event lasted only moments, making it difficult to identify the object with certainty. Possible explanations include a meteoroid, satellite transit, or another object crossing the observer's line of sight. A split-second observation... and another fascinating moment in lunar astronomy.show more

A dramatic moment captures a space rock striking the... Moon’s surface, creating a powerful and sudden impact. The object hits at incredible speed, producing a brief flash and disturbing the lunar surface. With no atmosphere to slow it down, the Moon is constantly exposed to impacts from space rocks, which have shaped its cratered landscape over billions of years. Events like this are happening all the time, but capturing one clearly is rare. This moment gives a glimpse into the dynamic nature of space and how even the Moon continues to change. A brief impact, but a powerful reminder of cosmic activity. #nasa #space #spacexshow more

These images were released by NASA. Here, you can... see an object passing near the module, and the onboard camera immediately turns to view the object... I would really love to see the details of the object they captured. Various internet channels and ufologists have pointed to official NASA archival footage from the Apollo 10 mission, claiming that a flash or a bright object can be seen maneuvering near craters on the far side of the Moon. Also during the May 1969 mission, while astronauts Tom Stafford, John Young, and Gene Cernan were on the far side of the moon and cut off from Earth's radio contact, they heard an unexplained, high-pitched whistling sound through their headsets.show more

A flash of light was captured on the dark... side of the moon… The astronomers say it’s from a small meteoroid striking the lunar surface… I’m not sure why that would make a flash of light like this… What do YOU think?show more

Hubble Space Telescope drifting past Earth and the Moon!

Artemis II Glides Past the Moon A stunning view... from deep space shows Orion — the spacecraft of NASA’s Artemis II mission — gracefully sailing near the cratered lunar surface. The ancient, rugged Moon fills the frame as humanity’s first crewed voyage beyond low-Earth orbit in over 50 years unfolds in real time.This historic flight carried four astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen — on a daring loop around the Moon, pushing farther into space than any humans since the Apollo era. The mission successfully tested Orion’s systems for future lunar landings and beyond.The breathtaking contrast between cutting-edge human technology and the timeless, airless beauty of the lunar landscape captures the spirit of exploration: bold curiosity, technical mastery, and our enduring drive to reach new frontiers. Note: This is a creative or illustrative depiction of the scene. Actual mission imagery from Artemis II shows spectacular views of both the near and far side of the Moon captured by the crew.show more

Did you know the James Webb Space Telescope isn’t... orbiting Earth at all? The James Webb Space Telescope operates near the Sun–Earth L2 point, about 1.5 million km from Earth. From there, the Sun, Earth, and Moon stay on the same side of the telescope, allowing its giant sunshield to block their heat and light at the same time. That keeps Webb cold and stable enough to detect extremely faint infrared signals from deep space. Because of this, Webb can peer through clouds of cosmic dust and observe galaxies whose light has traveled for more than 13 billion years. Every image it captures is not just a view across space, but a look back into the early history of the universe.show more

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: 🇺🇸 Donald Trump: We have now... officially secured 80% of the Moon's territory for U.S. mining firms. From this day forward, every satellite or spacecraft entering lunar orbit must pay a "Moon Transit Fee." 🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin: You believe space belongs to you just because you planted a flag there decades ago? Russia is dispatching a nuclear-powered icebreaker to the Moon, and we won't be paying a single dollar. 🇺🇸 Donald Trump: Let's see how you reach the Moon after we block your Starlink access! Effective immediately, a 200% tariff is being imposed on all vodka and space-related equipment. We'll find out how far your rockets can really go.show more

Brazilian amateur astronomer captures an object rising from a... lunar crater.🧐🤔🛸🛸🛸 On August 3, 2025, around 9:30 p.m., Brazilian amateur astronomer Ericsson Caldana managed to capture something extraordinary in a lunar crater. He described, astonished, that he had already seen "several strange objects in the sky, but this one coming out from inside the Moon is unprecedented. Minutes earlier, one similar to the U.S. B-2 Spirit had passed by, and right after that, the one in the video appeared." In the footage, something can be seen rising from inside the lunar crater and flying off into space. It is not possible to precisely determine the object's shape. The recording was made with Ericsson's cellphone attached to his Greika 70070 telescope.show more

During a Grand Solar Minimum and a geomagnetic excursion,... Earth becomes the dangerous place. A weak magnetic field means unstable radiation belts, ionospheric chaos, satellite failure, GPS collapse, and increased cosmic radiation at the surface. The Moon doesn’t suffer from this chaos. It has no magnetosphere to collapse, no ionosphere to destabilize, and radiation in deep space is harsh but stable and predictable. With just a few meters of lunar regolith, underground bases on the Moon, especially on the far side, become better shielded, more reliable, and more survivable than Earth orbit or even Earth’s surface. That’s why the Moon isn’t a distraction. It’s the logical place to ride out what’s coming.show more
