NASA is gearing up for the launch of two climate science cubesats as part of the Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-Infrared Experiment.
A pair of cubesats will measure far-infrared radiation from Earth's poles to improve climate predictions.
India News: New research led by a University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UH Mānoa) planetary scientist, Shuai Li, has led to a discovery that may help explain the origin
Solar wind implantation is thought to be one of the primary mechanisms in the formation of water (OH/H2O) on the surface of the Moon and possibly on the surface of other airless bodies. The lunar nearside spends ~27% of its daytime in Earth’s magnetotail where the solar wind flux is reduced by as much as ~99%. However, no correlated decrease in surficial water content has yet been seen on the lunar nearside. Here we report abundance observations of lunar surficial water on the nearside at different stages during the Moon’s passage through Earth’s magnetotail. We find that the...
The origin of the water that our satellite contains is unknown, but the process of deciphering it will provide clues about how it arrived on Earth
