Studying The Surface Of TitanFayetteville AK (SPX) Dec 23, 2009 A University of Arkansas scientist has received funding from NASA to simulate conditions found on Saturn's moon Titan to help better understand the origins of the liquids found on its surface and in its atmosphere. Vincent Chevrier, assistant research professor in the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Sciences, conducted preliminary studies in a planetary environmental simulation ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Dec 18, 2009NASA's Cassini spacecraft has captured the first flash of sunlight reflected off a lake on Saturn's moon Titan, confirming the presence of liquid on the part of the moon dotted with many large, lake-shaped basins. Cassini scientists had been looking for the glint, also known as a specular reflection, since the spacecraft began orbiting Saturn in 2004. But Saturn's northern hemisphere ... more  
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Dec 15, 2009If we hope to return astronauts to the Moon in the future, we need to carry out a lot of preparations. Sure, NASA and other agencies are working on hardware that could take us there. But we also need to investigate the potential impact of the Moon on the astronauts themselves. Biological studies of the lunar environment have barely been carried out. It's obvious that astronauts can survive ... more 
Ithica NY (SPX) Dec 11, 2009Iapetus is often called Saturn's most bizarre moon, due to its starkly contrasting hemispheres - one black as coal, the other white as snow. Images taken by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, orbiting Saturn since 2004, offer the most compelling evidence to date of why and how the moon got its yin-yang appearance, as well as clues to how other such satellites might have formed in the early universe ... more |

Washington DC (SPX) Dec 09, 2009When the LCROSS rocket stage slammed into Cabeus crater on October 9, creating an impact plume of material that had not seen sunlight for possibly billions of years, it conclusively proved that water ice exists in the dark recesses of the Moon's polar craters. The LCROSS findings delighted William Feldman, a senior scientist at the Tucson-based Planetary Science Institute. "What got me ... more 
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Dec 03, 2009Much attention has been focused on plans by various nations to return astronauts to the Moon. At the moment, it doesn't seem that anyone will be landing there for at least another decade. America is revising its original plans for the Orion program, which calls for a return to lunar orbital missions and landings. Some alternatives would see astronauts orbiting the Moon without landing, and ... more  
Shanghai, China (SPX) Dec 02, 2009A huge amount of scientific data have been accumulated by the CE-1 lunar orbiter. Using laser altimeter data, Jinsong Ping and Qian Huang et al obtained improved 3D lunar topography, and based on this, they had made new discoveries (such as impact basins and volcanic deposit highlands) of some ancient topographic characteristics on the lunar surface. Chao Chen and Qing Liang et al found ... more |
