Japan's private Resilience lunar lander arrived in orbit around the moon on Tuesday (May 6), a month ahead of its planned touchdown try.

Crewmembers on upcoming Artemis missions could potentially return samples from the moon's mantle back to Earth, providing insight into the final stages of lunar formation.

Time moves faster on the moon, and now we're one step closer to getting a lunar time zone to keep track of it.

DARPA (the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is looking for a private company to build spacecraft to orbit the moon and search for water.
