NASA has discovered evidence via research that it funded that indicates eons ago the surface of the moon might have looked different from Earth. According to the research the spin axis of the moon ...
About three billion years ago, the Earth’s moon did something very surprising. It tilted about 5 degrees on its own axis, causing the north and south poles to migrate by about 125 miles. It did so ...
A new study reports Earth's moon wandered off its original axis roughly 3 billion years ago. Ancient lunar ice indicates the moon's axis slowly shifted by 125 miles, or 6 degrees, over 1 billion years ...
Photographers across the globe have been sharing their photos while out and about capturing the supermoon. Photographer Gary ...

The Moon hasn’t always been spinning at the same angle as it does today, a new study suggests. The Moon’s axis likely shifted sometime around three billion years ago, due to the work of ancient lunar ...
Scientists were able to figure out that the moon now spins on a different axis by analysing data collected by NASA’s Lunar Prospector mission from the 90s. The scientists discovered two sets of icy ...
The moon showed Earth a different face billions of years ago, but was shifted off its axis by volcanic activity, according to NASA-funded research. Several of NASA’s lunar missions all tell the same ...
