Pasadena CA (JPL) Sep 24, 2010NASA's Cassini spacecraft will swing high over Saturn's moon Titan on Friday, Sept. 24, taking a long, sustained look at the hazy moon. At closest approach, Cassini will fly within 8,175 kilometers (5,080 miles) above the hazy moon's surface. This flyby is the first in a series of high-altitude Titan flybys for Cassini over the next year and a half. Cassini's composite infrared spect ... more 
Tel Aviv, Israel (SPX) Sep 23, 2010Titan, one of Saturn's moons, is the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere - ten times denser than the atmosphere of Earth. Five years ago, the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn, a collaboration between the European Space Agency and NASA, sent a probe through Titan's atmosphere, revealing that Titan is home to a landscape that includes hills, valleys and most notably lakes. A re ... more  
Hunstville AL (SPX) Sep 23, 2010For the first time in almost 20 years, northern autumn is beginning on the night of a full Moon.

Water on Moon is bad news for China's lunar telescopeParis (AFP) Sept 21, 2010 The discovery of water on the Moon could affect a telescope that will be installed on China's first lunar lander, scheduled in 2013, a Chinese astronomer was quoted as saying on Tuesday. In September 2009, scientists announced they had found a watery dew covering parts of the Moon. In sunlight, the water vaporises and is then broken down into molecules of hydroxyl, a compound comprising one atom of hydrogen and one oxygen. These hydroxyl levels could have a serious impact on lunar observatories, ... read more |
