TL;DR: Researchers found that seismic signals on Mars penetrate deeper than expected, as shown by recent studies using NASA's InSight Lander data. A meteoroid impact at Cerberus Fossae revealed ...

On December 12, 2025, a team of astronomers at the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium (AOP) witnessed something truly rare—a brief flash of light on the Moon’s surface caused by a meteoroid impact.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - An automated telescope monitoring the moon has captured images of an 88-pound (40 kg) rock slamming into the lunar surface, creating a bright flash of light, NASA ...

The study of atmospheric dynamics intertwined with micrometeorite research has emerged as a pivotal field, merging planetary science with Earth’s upper atmospheric physics. Investigations reveal that ...

Sometimes, it's hard to remember that Earth is constantly being bombarded by literally tons of space debris daily. The larger bits form what we know as shooting stars, and most burn up in the ...
