Scientists debate meaning of moon 'holes'Washington (UPI) Jul 19, 2010 U.S. scientists say photos of the moon's surface showing deep holes that may lead to tunnels offer the possibility of underground moon exploration. Huge pits on the moon, some of them hundreds of feet deep, may be openings to underground tunnels form by rivers of lave, SPACE.com reported Thursday. "They could be entrances to a geologic wonderland," researcher Mark Robinson at Arizona State University said. "We believe the giant holes are skylights that formed when the ceilings of undergr ... read more |

Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 11, 2010When it comes to where extraterrestrial life might dwell in our own solar system, Jupiter's moon Europa often grabs the spotlight. However, its extraordinarily volcanic sibling Io might be a possible habitat as well. A bit larger than Earth's moon, Io is the innermost of Jupiter's large satellites and the most volcanically active body in the solar system, with plumes of matter rising up to ... more  
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jun 11, 2010In exploration, sometimes you find more than what you're looking for, including things that shouldn't be there. As the Apollo 17 astronauts orbited over the night side of the moon, with the sun just beneath the horizon right before orbital "sunrise," Eugene Cernan prepared to make observations of sunlight scattered by the sun's thin outer atmosphere and interplanetary dust from comets and collis ... more 
Hampton VA (SPX) Jun 09, 2010What goes up must come down, and it will be NASA Langley Research Center's job to make sure that when astronauts return from space, they land safely. On June 8, NASA Langley will break ground on a $1.7 million Hydro Impact Basin that will serve to validate and certify that future space vehicles, such as NASA's Orion crew module, are designed for safe water landings. The water basin will be ... more |

What Is Consuming Hydrogen And Acetylene On TitanPasadena CA (JPL) Jun 07, 2010 Two new papers based on data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft scrutinize the complex chemical activity on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan. While non-biological chemistry offers one possible explanation, some scientists believe these chemical signatures bolster the argument for a primitive, exotic form of life or precursor to life on Titan's surface. According to one theory put forth by astrobiologists, the signatures fulfill two important conditions necessary for a hypothesized "methane-based lif ... read more |
