The USA is back on the Moon thanks to the IM-1 mission by Intuitive Machines. This week their lunar lander launched on a SpaceX rocket and touched down on the lunar surface. I appeared on CNN to discuss this milestone event, set to open access to the Moon for the progress of humanity. #IM1 #MOONLANDING

The Moon and Copernicus Crater: Signals and UFOs Spotted Again New footage in high quality showcases the area around the Copernicus crater on the Moon. Once again, mysterious signals and unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have reportedly been observed, sparking intrigue and debate. The video offers a detailed view of the lunar surface, focusing on the prominent Copernicus crater, a well-known landmark often studied for its striking features and peculiar anomalies. Could these observations hold clues to unexplained lunar phenomena? Watch and decide for yourself.

A large piece of a SpaceX rocket is believed to have hit the moon at more than 5,000 mph. The SpaceX rocket launched a pair of lunar landers last year, but the company’s scientists say a combination of solar activity and gravity put it on a collision course with the moon. Geoff Bennett speaks to Miles O'Brien for more.

🚨Mike Gold: "WE'RE BUILDING A MOON BASE." A SpaceX rocket stage is expected to crash into the Moon on Wednesday, and former NASA Associate Administrator Mike Gold says scientists shouldn't see it simply as space junk. He says the impact could help researchers study what happens when objects strike the lunar surface, improve safety planning for future astronauts and possibly reveal more about the Moon's water and geology. But the line that really stood out for me was delivered almost casually by Mike... "We're building a Moon base." You know, not discussing one or considering one, nope we are building one. Gold says the coming impact will help determine how far astronauts and infrastructure need to be from future collisions, because people are expected to be living and working on the lunar surface. The Moon is being treated as the next permanent human outpost and apparently, the construction era has already begun. Exciting times ahead! #Moon #NASA #Artemis #SpaceX #MoonBase #SpaceExploration

🚨NASA crashed a spacecraft into the moon and it rang like a bell for an hour. On November 20, 1969, Apollo 12 deliberately crashed its lunar module into the moon's surface and seismometers recorded vibrations lasting almost an hour. When they repeated the experiment with Apollo 13's rocket stage, it rang for nearly four hours. NASA geophysicist Gordon MacDonald published a paper stating the data suggested "the Moon is more like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere." The moon is tidally locked, has only 60 percent of Earth's density, and no model fully explains how it got here.

🚨TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE & BLOOD MOON: WHEN AND HOW TO WATCH A total lunar eclipse will create a Blood Moon on the night of Thursday, March 13, into the early morning of March 14, visible across South America, Central America, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Spain. What is a Blood Moon? During a total lunar eclipse, Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the lunar surface. Due to Rayleigh scattering, shorter light wavelengths are filtered out, leaving the Moon bathed in a deep red or orange hue. Source: E News, Depor

An astronaut on artemis got emotional naming a crater on the moon after his late wife and the others comforted him ❤️‍🩹 I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭 During Artemis II’s historic lunar flyby, the crew paused their live observations of the Moon to propose naming a bright crater “Carroll,” honoring commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife, who passed away from cancer in 2020. The moment unfolded as the crew made their way around the Moon on a journey meant to bring them safely back to Earth, a test flight laying the groundwork for humanity’s return to the lunar surface, turning a routine part of the mission into something deeply personal in real time.
