Where In The World Is EuropaMoffett Field CA (SPX) Aug 17, 2010 Instead of flying to Europa without first testing what a mission there might experience, now a number of sites on Earth - and beyond - that mimic the Jovian moon are being uncovered that could help explorers conduct trial runs. Missions to Mars such as the Mars Exploration Rovers were exhaustively field-tested in "Mars Yards" - areas whose terrain mimicked the red planet. In much the same way, researchers would like to rehearse missions to explore Europa using analogs of that moon on Earth. ... read more |

Pasadena CA (SPX) Jul 23, 2010That dry, dusty moon overhead? Seems it isn't quite as dry as it's long been thought to be. Although you won't find oceans, lakes, or even a shallow puddle on its surface, a team of geologists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), working with colleagues at the University of Tennessee, has found structurally bound hydroxyl groups (i.e., water) in a mineral in a lunar rock returned ... more 
Knoxville TN (SPX) Jul 23, 2010Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, are once again turning what scientists thought they knew about the moon on its head. Last fall, researchers, including Larry Taylor, a distinguished professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, discovered "lunar dew" on the moon's surface - absorbed "water" in the uppermost layers of lunar soil.

Defendant Thomas Chapman, a customs official, offered Armstrong help with his luggage as he arrived back in the United States after visiting US ... read more |
