Since the 1960s, scientists have suspected that frozen water could survive in cold, dark craters at the moon's poles.

Connecting the history of Apollo 17 to NASA's current Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission through the eyes of astronaut Harrison Jack Schmitt.

By combining years of LEND data, scientists see mounting evidence of hydrogen-rich areas near the Moon’s south pole, strongly suggesting the presence of frozen water.

In the early morning hours of April 15, 2014, the Moon enters the Earth’s shadow, creating a total lunar eclipse.

This image shows the variations in the lunar gravity field as measured by NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) during the primary mapping mission from March to May 2012.

The six Apollo lunar landing sites are all relatively near the equator on the side of the Moon that faces the Earth. 

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot, walks on the surface of the Moon.

The three crew members of Apollo 8 were the first humans to leave Earth orbit and the first to travel around the Moon.

In December of 1968, the crew of Apollo 8 became the first people to leave our home planet and travel to another body in space.
