Orlando FL (SPX) Jun 12, 2009A lunar eclipse helped a group of international scientists take a snapshot of earth's chemical fingerprint, which could help to identify planets most similar to earth where life may be thriving. University of Central Florida Associate Professor Eduardo Martin was a member of the team that made the observation, which is published in Nature magazine. The team used some of the world's ... more 
Tokyo (AFP) June 11, 2009Japan's first lunar satellite on Thursday ended its scientific mission which started in September 2007 and was manoeuvred to crash onto the moon, the nation's space agency said. The Kaguya, named after a mythical moon princess, was launched to study the moon's origin and evolution by collecting data as it orbited 100 kilometres (60 miles) above the moon, the Japan Aerospace Exploration ... more 
Hampton VA (SPX) Jun 09, 2009The results of the second annual NASA Lunar Art Contest are out-of-this-world productions from high school and college students from around the globe. "Crater Core Sample," a painting by Zachary Madere of the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Lakewood, Colo., was judged the best of more than 90 imaginative entries. The painting shows an astronaut holding an icy cylinder in a dark ... more 
Troy NY (SPX) Jun 09, 2009Lunar eclipses are well-documented throughout human history. The rare and breathtaking phenomena, which occur when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow and seemingly changes shape, color, or disappears from the night sky completely, caught the attention of poets, farmers, leaders, and scientists alike. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method for using ... more |

Shanghai (XNA) May 27, 2009A space scientist has said that Chinese scientists are considering the feasibility of a manned lunar landing mission at an appropriate time between 2025 and 2030. China will be able to fetch samples collected by unmanned lunar probe by 2017, Ye Peijian, chief designer of the lunar probe with China's Chang'e Project, said at a science lecture held Friday in Shanghai. "Through the deve ... more 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) May 27, 2009NASA's return to the Moon will get a boost in June with the launch of two satellites that will return a wealth of data about Earth's nearest neighbor. The agency has outlined the upcoming missions of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, and the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS. The spacecraft will launch together June 17 aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Cana ... more  
Boulder CO (SPX) May 25, 2009The bombardment of Earth nearly 4 billion years ago by asteroids as large as Kansas would not have had the firepower to extinguish potential early life on the planet and may even have given it a boost, says a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. Impact evidence from lunar samples, meteorites and the pockmarked surfaces of the inner planets paints a picture of a violent environment ... more  
Moffett Field CA (SPX) May 25, 2009Jupiter's giant moon Europa is one of the few places in our solar system where scientists believe there is a reasonable chance that life has made a home. An ice-covered world with a vast frigid ocean beneath, Europa will not be an easy place to explore. If there is life there, it's likely to be in the ocean, and although the moon's surface may hold clues to what lies below, making a compre ... more |
