Washington DC (SPX) Apr 27, 2010As the solar wind flows over natural obstructions on the moon, it may charge polar lunar craters to hundreds of volts, according to new calculations by NASA's Lunar Science Institute team. Polar lunar craters are of interest because of resources, including water ice, which exist there. The moon's orientation to the sun keeps the bottoms of polar craters in permanent shadow, allowing temper ... more  
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Apr 23, 2010A new study in the journal Icarus provides the latest round-up of the number of impact craters found on Saturn's moon Titan. Between 2004 and December 2007, Cassini had surveyed 22 percent of Titan's surface. Scientists analyzed images taken by the spacecraft's high-resolution Radar Mapper instrument, and found 49 impact craters. "Impact craters are created on every planet because of ... more  
Schriever AFB CO (SPX) Apr 21, 2010April marks the 40th Anniversary of the failed Apollo 13 mission and the near loss of its astronauts, James Lovell, John "Jack" Swigert, and Fred Haise.

Craters Around Lunar Poles Could Be ElectrifiedGreenbelt MD (SPX) Apr 19, 2010 As the solar wind flows over natural obstructions on the moon, it may charge polar lunar craters to hundreds of volts, according to new calculations by NASA's Lunar Science Institute team. Polar lunar craters are of interest because of resources, including water ice, which exist there. The moon's orientation to the sun keeps the bottoms of polar craters in permanent shadow, allowing temperatures there to plunge below minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit, cold enough to store volatile material like water f ... read more |
