Chinese scientists have precisely dated the moon's oldest and largest impact feature, the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin, to 4.25 billion years ago using lunar samples returned by the Chang'e-6 mission. This result offers critical insights into the moon's formative history and the early development of the solar system.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is currently engaged in its 23rd solar science campaign, heading toward a Sun encounter on Saturday, March 22, that will once again bring it within a mere 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) of the solar surface. This approach matches the spacecraft's previous record for the closest distance to the Sun, achieved during its December 24 flyby.
