JWST Reveals Four Distinct CO₂ Types on Saturn’s Moons July 31, 2025
What can carbon dioxide (CO₂) on Saturn’s moons teach scientists about their formation and evolution? This is what a recent study submitted to The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the different types of CO₂ that exist on several of Saturn’s mid-sized moons. This study has the potential to […]
Is the Moon Best Left Alone? July 31, 2025
I’m not exaggerating when I say that our studies of the Moon have unlocked the mysteries of the universe.
A New Lunar Far Side Radio Telescope Is Ready For Testing July 31, 2025
We’ve been talking about sending a radio telescope to the far side of the Moon for awhile now. Now that reality is one step closer with the completion of the design and construction phase of the Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Experiment-Night (LuSEE-Night) radio telescope project. This milestone marks a major step in the development of the […]
AI Uncovers Subsurface Entrances on the Moon July 31, 2025
How can artificial intelligence (AI) be used to locate lunar pits and skylights, which are surface depressions and openings, respectively, that serve as entrances to lava caves and lava tubes? This is what a recent study published in Icarus hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated using machine learning algorithms to more […]
Lava Existed in the Moon's Subsurface Longer than Previously Thought July 31, 2025
New research on the samples collected by China's Chang'e-5 mission is revolutionizing our understanding of how the Moon cooled. A team led by Stephen M. Elardo, an Assistant Professor from the University of Florida, found that lava on the near side of the Moon likely came from a much shallower depth than previously thought, contradicting […]
