NASA studied the entire lunar South Pole and narrowed humanity's landing options to just nine candidate regions — on a body the size of a continent, the ground everyone wants is barely a few neighborhoods

Dennis Hope has been selling acres of the moon for about $20 each since 1980, reportedly moving over 2.5 million parcels — every deed voided by a treaty he claims says nothing about private citizens

The American flags planted by Apollo astronauts have likely bleached pure white after 50 years of unfiltered solar radiation, leaving the most famous banners in history standing as blank cloth
Moon Daily
Apollo 11's flag was knocked flat by the lunar module's own exhaust the instant the astronauts lifted off, meaning the first banner on the moon stood upright for less than a day

A lunar meteorite found in northwest Africa has been shown to record evidence of an asteroid impact on the Moon 3.5 billion years ago, matching independently dated impacts on Earth and on the asteroid 4 Vesta from the same period, at the moment life on Earth was first taking hold

NASA is on track to put humans back on the lunar surface for the first time in roughly 56 years by 2028— followed by the establishment of a sustained human presence near the Moon's south pole in the 2030s — in a civilizational shift that would mark the first time in human history that our species has lived continuously on another world, rather than briefly visiting and returning home

In 1972, Apollo 17 carried the only scientist to walk on the Moon into Taurus-Littrow, where a broken rover fender, 741 samples, and orange volcanic glass from 3.64 billion years ago turned the final lunar landing into a geology field trip

In January 2005, the Huygens probe parachuted for 147 minutes through Titan’s orange haze, landed on a cold plain scattered with ice pebbles, and kept transmitting from the surface of Saturn’s largest moon for 72 minutes before Cassini carried its signal out of view

In 2026, Airi Toida and Yuichiro Ezoe modeled a sub-10-kilogram X-ray telescope that could spend two years tracing oxygen, iron, magnesium, aluminum, and silicon across the Moon, toward the complete elemental map Apollo never delivered

A genuine "once in a blue moon" event arrives this Sunday, May 31 — the only monthly Blue Moon between now and the very end of 2028 — and this one will pass right next to the bright orange heart of Scorpius in the predawn sky

Buzz Aldrin took Communion on the surface of the Moon using a tiny kit he carried aboard with NASA's quiet blessing, pouring wine that curled slowly upward in one-sixth gravity — and NASA then asked him to keep it off the air to avoid inflaming a lawsuit already underway over a Bible reading from orbit

America is preparing to land humans on the Moon while quietly proposing to terminate 53 science missions, lay off thousands of researchers, and cancel every partnership with Europe — and calling what remains a leaner, more focused program

The moon is moving away from Earth at 3.8 centimetres per year — which means the total solar eclipses humans alive today get to see are something no future civilisation will ever witness
