Sunday’s Blood Moon was the fifth of six supermoons this year alone.

For starters, a magnetic field, which originates from a planet’s core, protects a potential atmosphere by deflecting the charged particles that make up stellar wind. Magnetic fields, conceived from the cooling of a planet’s inside, could likewise shield life at first...

This is a big deal because the presence of liquid water is arguably the most necessary element for the evolution of life as we know it. The water on Mars is believed to be briny and far saltier than any on Earth.

Matt Damon regrets not keeping hold of his spacesuit from “The Martian”.

The rare coupling was seen in Canada, the United States, Europe, Africa and western Asia.

Back in 2008, scientists confirmed the existence of frozen water on the planet.

On Sunday night, the supermoon moved into the Earth’s shadow during a full lunar eclipse which was visible from the Americas, West Africa and Europe. Supermoon, or perigee moon, is the name given when the full or new moon comes closest to the Earth making it appear bigger....

As a result, perigee full moons, also known as supermoons, appear about 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter in the sky than do apogee full moons (which are also called minimoons).

Doom-mongering had been particularly ramped up as this lunar eclipse combined with a supermoon.

A supermoon occurs when the Moon is in the closest part of its orbit to Earth, meaning it appears larger in the sky. A total lunar eclipse coinciding with a “supermoon” hasn’t happened for 33 years, and won’t be repeated again for another 18 years. At this...

The storm that hit his location in the red planet separates him from his crew that presumes him to be dead. However, Damon’s comedic charm acts as a double-edged sword.

Instagram addicts had to take to their cameras immediately as the next suchlike event will take place in 18 years.

I don’t want to push an agenda. “It would be awful”. Damon’s Watney is the only one worth feeling anything for, and whatever The Martian’s problems may be, Damon is undoubtedly the best thing in it. Even in middle age, he looks boyishly vulnerable,...

A blood red “supermoon” has appeared in the skies above Ireland for the first time in more than 30 years. This one coincided with a full lunar eclipse, in which the moon, Earth, and sun lined up, with Earth’s shadow totally obscuring the moon.

People in North, Central and South America will be able to see the total lunar eclipse Sunday night. And it won’t happen again until 2033.
