Japan's SLIM lunar lander has survived another night on the moon, despite being designed to die after the first lunar night.

Intuitive Machines' Odysseus lander has failed to awaken following its plunge into lunar night, despite the spacecraft's solar panels now receiving enough sunlight to ostensibly power its radio.

SpaceX's powerful Starship system spent roughly an hour in orbit performing test maneuvers for the first time ever. But two simultaneous communications errors means the rocket won't be recoverable.

The proposed nuclear reactor, which could be transported and assembled without human assistance, would provide energy to a lunar base that Russia and China have agreed to build together.

Data compiled from NASA's Juno mission shows that Europa, Jupiter's ice-covered moon, severely lacks oxygen.

Intuitive Machines' robotic Odysseus spacecraft snapped a few selfies with Earth in the background shortly after its Feb. 15 launch.

Last week, the Martian moon Phobos passed neatly between Mars and the sun. NASA's Perseverance rover caught the fortuitous eclipse on camera.

Asteroid 2024 BJ, which astronomers detected earlier this month, will zoom within 220,000 miles of Earth tomorrow, or closer to us than the average distance to the moon.

On Jan. 19, Japan's 'Moon Sniper' spacecraft made a successful soft landing on the moon. The landing was the most precise in lunar history; it was also upside-down.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter successfully bounced a laser off of a cookie-sized mirror on Inida's Vikram moon lander in an experiment that could greatly improve the precision of future moon landings.
