NASA awards a $37 million contract for a Lunar Freezer System that will keep fragile lunar samples cold during the journey ...

For a long time, scientists assumed that Earth's water was delivered by asteroids and comets billions of years ago. This coincided with the Late Heavy Bombardment (ca. 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago), a ...

Earlier research held that meteorite impacts from the solar system's early days were a major source of Earth's water.

NASA research using Apollo lunar regolith data refines the Moon’s impact record and places limits on meteorite contributions to Earth’s water over geologic time.

Most of Earth’s water likely came from the planet’s original building blocks, new research has found. A NASA study analysing lunar soil samples from the Apollo missions has shed fresh light on the ...

A new NASA study using Apollo lunar soil samples challenges a long-held theory. It suggests meteorites were not the primary ...
