Researcher says he found a crashed triangle-shaped UFO in photo of Moon’s Ryder crater.
Ryder crater is a notable crater on the far side of the Moon – the side that always faces away from Earth. It remained unobserved until 1959 when an orbiting Russian space probe photographed it. It has never been explored by human life. Yesterday an observant viewer found an interesting anomaly in a NASA photograph…
Cool science pictures that make you go “huh?”
Watch what happens when astronauts on the moon drop a hammer and feather at the same time
For a long time, Geek Slop has been trying to convince his readers that despite mind-boggling implications, Galileo was correct – all objects fall at the same rate regardless of how heavy they are.

Well look at that. A highway to the Moon. Who knew…
What’s up with all the “outer-space” UFO sightings around the Moon and International Space Station? [VIDEO]

Outer space sightings are not rare – lunar sightings have been reported by astronomers since the 1700’s and countless…
Running out of fuel, NASA to control crash both GRAIL spacecraft into Moon on December 17
NASA announced today that its two Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) Spacecraft, named Ebb and Flow, are running out of fuel and will be control crashed into a lunar mountain on December 17, 2012 at approximately 5:28 PM EST (Flow will crash 20 seconds after Ebb). The impact area is at latitude 75.62° N,…
Is NASA planning to deploy a robotic “miner” on the moon supported by a floating space station?
Rumors are spreading that NASA intends to deploy a robotic payload in 2017 for the purpose of finding water sources on the Moon. The payload would be mounted on a robotic rover that moved about the moon searching for water sources and other useful materials, saving NASA the expense of transporting these heavy materials from…
Wanna know how to buy a moon rock? Hint: black market

Sample moon rocks collected by NASA’s Apollo astronauts are considered National Treasures, property of the United States government, and would never be sold to the public. They have been however, given away. Here are funny stories about lost moon rocks and tips on how you can come into…
