The Moon’s rotation is perfectly locked to its orbit…a 1:1 spin-orbit coupling. That shouldn’t happen if the Moon were evenly distributed. This anomaly suggests extreme rigidity inside the lunar crust. Something beneath the surface is holding it in place.

The Moon is massive enough that its gravity should shape it into a perfect sphere—but it’s not. Why? It has two distinct moments of inertia, meaning it's not evenly balanced. That tells us something strange: the Moon isn’t just spinning—it's locked in a 1:1 spin-orbit resonance with Earth. That’s why we only ever see one face. If it were perfectly symmetrical, Earth’s gravity wouldn’t have such a grip on it. So what stopped the Moon from smoothing out? This isn’t just a cosmic curiosity—it’s a clue.

We love you, Moon. After about a month in transit to the Moon, ’s Blue Ghost lunar lander successfully completed a maneuver that pushed the lander into the Moon’s orbit. Blue Ghost is targeted to land on the Moon on March 2.

It's easier to explain why the moon shouldn't exist than why it does. All theories of lunar origin don't make sense. The moon's mass and assumed density suggest it should have settled into spherical form... with a single center of mass. Free to rotate on any axis. But the moon's rotation is completely and precisely locked to its orbital period around Earth. This implies mass is not distributed radially symmetrical. A huge anomaly. Something within the lunar crust is extremely rigid.

In the last 6 days, 9 asteroids passed inside the Moon’s orbit. Estimated sizes: ~1–38 m. All were discovered this month, a reminder that countless small, faint NEOs slip by unnoticed until they make a close pass.

It’s #SunDay! This week’s (Sept. 19 - 25) space weather report includes: · 4 M-class flares · 30 coronal mass ejections · 0 geomagnetic storms This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity. At about 1:25 in the video, another celestial body makes an appearance — the Moon! Lunar transits happen only a few times a year, when the Moon’s tilted orbit aligns just right to cross SDO’s view. From SDO's orbit vantage point about 22,217 miles overhead, the Moon appears about 10% larger than it does from Earth's surface. 🔎 More on flares & coronal mass ejections:

Our #GhostRiders completed another lunar orbit maneuver with a 3 minute, 18 second burn early this morning. This maneuver moved the lander from a high elliptical orbit to a much lower elliptical orbit around the Moon. Shortly after the burn, Blue Ghost captured incredible footage of the Moon's far side, about 120 km above the surface. In this orbit, the team will experience planned rolling comms blackouts as Blue Ghost goes around the far side of the Moon. When on the near side, the team will continue to downlink data and finalize the plan for our next maneuver that will get Blue Ghost even closer to the lunar surface and keep us right on track for landing on March 2. #BGM1

Europa is about the same size as Earth's moon – yet evidence suggests that, beneath its surface, it has more water than all Earth's oceans combined! See why we think this is the case and the implications for life.

BREAKING🚨: A mysterious object appears near the Moon’s surface, creating a moment that looks unusual and difficult to explain at first. The bright lunar background makes even small moving objects clearly visible. It may look like the object is flying very close to the Moon, almost touching its surface. But in reality, it is often much closer to Earth, and this is just a result of alignment and perspective. Objects like satellites, meteoroids, or space debris can pass in front of the Moon, appearing as dark moving shapes for a few seconds.
