The Sturgeon Moon became visible Thursday night, appearing bigger and brighter than usual because of its proximity to Earth.

Researchers discovered that lunar pits and caves could provide stable temperatures around 63 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to new possibilities for experiments and life there.

The study makes use of lunar soil samples collected from Apollo 11, 12 and 17.

NASA should send probes to the ice giant planet of Uranus and to a moon of Saturn where conditions could be right for life. Those are some of the recommendations in a new report to the space agency.
