Thursday, May 31 brings us the second of two full Moons for North Americans this month. Some almanacs and calendars assert that when two full Moons occur within a calendar month, that the second full Moon is called the "Blue Moon." picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago 3 comments edit related share plime.com |
NASA is in hope that its double explosion on the surface of the moon will reveal the hidden water ice. The rocket will smash into the moon's craters at a speed of 2.5 km per second. The impact will raise 1,102 tons of moon fragments and dust. picked by maxriter 8 months ago 10 comments edit related share science |
The Mission Objectives of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) include confirming the presence or absence of water ice by blowing up a large portion of two polar craters. If water could be found, a moon base would much more feasible. picked by 2manyusernames 8 months ago 6 comments edit related share science |
As if scanning the moon's surface for impact blemishes were not enough, NASA now plans to visualize its internal imperfections to solve longstanding mysteries about the moon's insides. NASA said this week that it selected the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, or GRAIL, from two dozen mission proposals. GRAIL's twin spacecraft are slated to launch around Sept. 6, 2011. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago 2 comments edit related share plime.com |

Jupiter’s moon Europa is just as far away as ever, but new research is bringing scientists closer to being able to explore its tantalizing ice-covered ocean and determine its potential for harboring life. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago 0 comments edit related share plime.com |
It's an exciting time for educators and students. Before the end of the next decade, NASA astronauts will return to the moon. This time, we're planning to stay, building outposts and paving the way for eventual journeys to Mars and beyond. Today's students will be tomorrow's explorers. How will space exploration benefit their lives in the future? That's the question this competition asks of... read full post picked by paddyjoe 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share technology |

A team of scientists has detected the lowest frequency radar echo off the moon ever picked up by Earth-based receivers. In the lunar echo experiment, high power transmitter, located near Gakona, Alaska, launched high power radio waves toward the moon. The reflected signal, weakened because of the long distance to the moon and back, was detected by receiving antennas in New Mexico. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago 0 comments edit related share science |
The plains of solidified lava that give the Moon its quirky human-like face as seen from Earth were created more than four billion years ago. The evidence comes from an unearthly silvery-grey stone that was blasted off from the face of the Moon, perhaps by an impacting asteroid, and was then captured by Earth's gravity, prompting it to fall to ground in Botswana. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago 0 comments edit related share plime.com |
