Collision Spills New Moon SecretsProvidence RI (SPX) Oct 26, 2010 Scientists led by Brown University are offering the first detailed explanation of the crater formed when a NASA rocket and spacecraft slammed into the Moon last October and information about the composition of the lunar soil at the poles that never has been sampled. The findings are published in six papers in the Oct. 22, 2010, edition of Science stemming from the successful NASA mission, called LCROSS for Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite. Mission control at NASA's Ames Research ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 07, 2010Saturn's icy moon Enceladus should not be one of the most promising places in our solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. Instead, it should have frozen solid billions of years ago. Located in the frigid outer solar system, it's too far from the sun to have oceans of liquid water - a necessary ingredient for known forms of life - on its surface. Some worlds, like Mars or Jupiter's ... more  
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Oct 06, 2010For years, the official line on China's robot lunar program was a simple case of 1-2-3. There would be an orbiter (Chang'e 1) followed by a lander bearing a rover (Chang'e 2), and finally, a robot lander with a sample return rocket (Chang'e 3). Prior to late 2007, that was the plan regularly published in Chinese media sources. Shortly before the launch of Chang'e 1 in 2007, China's first l ... more  
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Oct 05, 2010The frigid ice of Jupiter's moon Europa may be hiding more than a presumed ocean: it is likely the scene of some unexpectedly fast chemistry between water and sulfur dioxide at extremely cold temperatures. Although these molecules react easily as liquids-they are well-known ingredients of acid rain-Mark Loeffler and Reggie Hudson at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., now ... more |

(UPI) Oct 1, 2010 NASA new direction of sending astronauts to the asteroids or Mars doesn't mean a return to the moon is out of the question, the U.S. agency's deputy head says. NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver said the moon has a role to play in the new space exploration plan set by President Barack Obama and approved by Congress this week. "Lunar science and lunar exploration is alive and well in NASA," Garver told SPACE.com. Obama's plan cancels NASA's moon-oriented Constellation program, i ... read more |
