Collaborate Disseminate
sciencehabit shares a report from Science.org: For years, scientists have believed frigid craters at the Moon’s poles hold water ice, which would be both a scientific boon and a potential resource for human missions. Now, researchers have discovered (P… Continue reading Ancient Magnetic Fields On the Moon Could Be Protecting Precious Ice
A team of European researchers has suggested that the Moon’s orbit could be used as a gigantic detector for gravitational waves – ripples in the very fabric of spacetime itself. These waves, much smaller than those that existing detectors can pick up, … Continue reading Firing lasers at the Moon to detect early-universe gravitational waves
“The European Space Agency has announced it has chosen a team to make oxygen on the moon,” reports Digital Trends.
“The team, led by aerospace manufacturer Thales Alenia Space, will design and build a payload to create oxygen from lunar soil.”

Scientists at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston are preparing to open the first tube that one of the astronauts on the Apollo missions hammered into the surface of the moon. As NPR reports, it’s “remained tightly sealed all these years since that … Continue reading NASA Is Opening a Vacuum-Sealed Sample It Took From the Moon 50 Years Ago
Research sponsored by ESA aims to develop a method to not only detect dangerous superoxide soils on the Moon and Mars that could imperil astronauts, but also a way to turn these hazards into oxygen farms for future missions.Continue ReadingCategory: Sp… Continue reading Corrosive Martian and lunar soils could be used to farm oxygen
After years of zooming through deep space, a presumed leftover piece of a Chinese rocket slammed into the Moon today, just as space tracking experts expected it would. From a report: At least, it should have hit the Moon around 7:30AM ET this morning, … Continue reading After Mistaken Identity and Confusion, a Piece of Space Junk Slams Into the Moon
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: This week, the US Air Force Research Laboratory released a video on YouTube that didn’t get much attention. But it made an announcement that is fairly significant — the US military plans to extend… Continue reading The US Space Force Plans To Start Patrolling the Area Around the Moon
While most artists aspire to have their work exhibited somewhere like The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a piece by Dubai-based British painter Sacha Jafri may soon be soaring to even loftier heights – plans call for it to be permanently displayed on the … Continue reading Space exploration consortium announces plan to put artwork on the Moon
We have to confess that we occasionally send friends a link to “let me Google that for you” when they ask us something that they could have easily found online. …read more Continue reading How Big is the Moon? Figure it out Yourself
Astronomers have discovered the first known quadruple asteroid system. A team from Thailand and France spotted a third moon orbiting the main-belt asteroid Elektra, moving the object into the record books.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: A… Continue reading First quadruple asteroid discovered in the solar system
