MOON

The Japanese branch of Domino's, which announced opening a new branch on the moon, has made many claims on its Web site dedicated to the new venture. However, when it comes to finding the base for its pizza joint on Earth's only known natural satellite, it has nothing major which can back the announcement as a proper business plan.

The pizza company revealed plans to build a take-out restaurant on the surface of the moon.

On its way to probe Jupiter, NASA's Juno spacecraft took the time to capture its home planet Earth and its moon looking like tiny white dots. JunoCam, the name given to the spacecraft's camera, took the image on Aug. 26 when the spacecraft was about 6 million miles (9.66 million kilometers) away from Earth.

A Chinese tax on moon cakes is not likely to spark an uprising of the sort that earned the Boston Tea Party its place in history, but the move has left a bad taste in the mouth ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Man has already been jettisoned into outer space and taken a jaunt across the moon, but a new report finds that being able to launch human missions to asteroids might aid in the thwarting of potentially devastating asteroid strikes, Space.com reported.

Nuclear energy could find a second life on the moon and Mars.

NASA has developed a suitcase-sized fission nuclear reactor capable of generating 40-kilowatt electricity in space. Designed to work on the fission nuclear technology, this nuclear reactor will prove to be a reliable power source not only on Earth, but on the moon and the Martian surface claim the scientists.

Scientists are working on compact nuclear power plants based on fission power technology for settlements on the Moon and Mars.

A compact, suitcase-size nuclear power plant could one day generate electricity for manned or unmanned bases on the moon, Mars, or other planets, a U.S. research team says.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has captured new raw images of Saturn's oddly shaped moon, Hyperion, during its second closest encounter with the cratered body on Aug. 25, 2011.

As Hurricane Irene headed for the U.S. East Coast Thursday night, authorities prepared for the worst and scientists said tides and ocean temperatures were increasing its destructive power.

Gathering strength as she morphs into a major Category 4 storm, Hurricane Irene continues her assault threat on the East Coast. But even she can't slow preparations for NASA's upcoming launches from Florida's Space Coast, including a moon-studying mission slated to start Sept. 8, the space agency said.

Energia, the designer and manufacturer of Soyuz manned spaceships, is planning a commercial flight either directly to the moon or to dock first with the International Space Station (ISS) and later pay a visit to the moon.

That old lopsided moon seen at night may be 200 million years younger and may have evolved differently over time, an international team of scientists have learned after performing tests on moon rock samples collected by NASA's Apollo 16 mission landings.

Adding to a long list of mysteries surrounding the moon, a new analysis has suggested that our nearest interplanetary object may not be as old as we believe.

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, jetted into Afghanistan this week with two other lunar greats to give a much-needed morale boost to the country's struggling air force.

The analysis of one lunar rock has raised a hoard of questions about the formation of the moon as results suggest the moon could potentially be 200 million years younger than believed.

New techniques to study rocks have led researchers to believe that the Earth's moon is actually much younger than previously predicted. The study also has ramifications for the Earth itself, thought to be made of the same material.

Earth's moon might not be as old as widely believed, as emerging new techniques date moon rocks to a more recent time.

An international team of scientists suggest that Earth's moon is either 200 million years younger than widely believed or it has evolved differently over time based on test done on moon rocks.

Tests performed on a moon rock sample have led an international team of scientists to suggest that Earth's moon is either 200 million years younger than widely believed or it has evolved differently over time.
