The moon

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost spacecraft made history today (March 2), becoming just the second private vehicle ever to soft-land on the moon.

Three private lunar landers are on their way to the moon right now, a surge of exploration never before seen in spaceflight history.

Intuitive Machines' second lunar lander, named Athena, snapped some amazing shots of its home planet shortly after launching atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Feb. 26.

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander has beamed home stunning views of the moon from an altitude of just 62 miles (100 kilometers).

The moon enters its new phase for February 2025 tonight, leaving the skies nice and dark for observing many bright planets currently visible in the night sky.

The gold dots on Columbia Sportswear's new long-sleeve shirt forms more than just the silhouette of a lunar lander. It also represents the tech used to protect the craft and outdoor explorers.

Photos of the next spacecraft to launch to the moon have revealed a detail on the lander's footpads that Intuitive Machines hopes will never be seen again.

Resilience, a lunar lander built by Japanese company ispace, zoomed within a mere 5,220 miles (8,400 kilometers) of the moon on Feb. 14.

NASA still views the moon as a stepping stone to Mars, even though Elon Musk has dismissed Earth's nearest neighbor as "a distraction."

We've rounded up some of the best full moon photos below. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
