Conventionally, the moon is thought to have formed during one big impact, but a three-impact model might make more sense ...

Gravity and motion make time pass faster on Mars than Earth, reshaping navigation, communication, and future crewed missions.

"During the early solar system's game of cosmic billiards, Earth was struck by a neighbor,” said Dauphas. “It was a lucky shot. Without the moon's steadying influence on our planet's tilt, the climate ...

According to a new study, Earth’s atmosphere might have been more important for the origin of life story than we gave it ...
