The moon

It's been six decades since NASA first touched down in outback WA, and it's given current and former residents of Carnarvon plenty of reasons to celebrate.

The event happens every June, but this year's "Strawberry Moon" comes at the same time as the "shortest day of the year", meaning the Moon will be out in all its might.

The uncrewed spacecraft, the Chang'e-6, touched down on the dark side of the moon.

Footage of China's uncrewed spacecraft landing on the far side of the Moon has been released by Chinese media. 

The Chinese lander will use a mechanical arm and a drill to gather up to 2 kilograms of surface and underground material from the Moon to send back to Earth.

After millions of people looked up to the sky to view Monday's total solar eclipse, NASA has shared incredible images of what the event looked like for those in space.  

A total solar eclipse sees millions of people across North America watch as the Moon completely blocks the Sun, for more than four minutes in some places.

The Sun is about to pull a disappearing act across North America, turning day into night during a total solar eclipse. Here's how Aussies can join in on the action from home.

The White House directs the space agency to create a time standard by 2026, as it sets the stage for future Mars missions and growing lunar competition. 

SpaceX's Starship rocket, designed to eventually send astronauts to the Moon, completed nearly an entire test flight after two previous failures. 

Maybe you will intuitively know the answer to our science quiz questions. Or you could blitz it because you've been keeping up with the news over the past month.

A private US Moon lander is expected to stop working days before originally planned, while a Japanese one is again showing signs of life.

Experts say we may look back on the first landing of a US spacecraft on the Moon in more than 50 years as the day everything changed for space exploration. 

Scientists from the CSIRO and Parkes Observatory have helped the United States land a craft on the Moon, part of a plan to send humans there for the first time since the Apollo missions.

Intuitive Machines has become the first private company to land on the Moon, and the first US mission on the lunar surface in decades. 

A moon lander has reached lunar orbit, heading for an attempt at the first US touchdown on Earth's nearest celestial neighbour in more than 50 years.

The launch further enhances the country's space credentials, following the historic "pinpoint" moon landing of Japan's SLIM spacecraft last month.

A change in the sunlight's direction is believed to helped Japan's SLIM lunar probe regain power more than a week after it ran out.

While the module landed successfully and precisely where it was supposed to, its solar panels are not facing the sun so are unable to generate power.

Japan's space agency says it hopes a shift in the sunlight's angle will hit the solar panels of its 'Moon sniper' in a way that can restore its functions.

The Australian Space Agency says it monitored the re-entry to make sure it posed "no threat to people or property".

Japan is planning to land a car-sized spacecraft on the Moon this week. If SLIM succeeds, it will make history and pave the way for building landers that can explore the Solar System's  planets and moons.

The US space agency pushes back Moon flights due to safety and technical issues, after the Peregrine lander suffered a major blow.

The rocket made it out of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon lander on board later suffered a fuel leak.
