Firefly's Blue Ghost witnessed Earth blocking out the Sun from its point of view on the Moon, while we experienced a lunar eclipse on Earth.
“Based on the temperature profiles from ChaSTE as ground truth, [we] can model the migration and stability of the water ice for different representative locations on the moon,” says Prasad.
The lander, called Athena, is a Nova-C class lunar lander and carries a drill and mass spectrometer capable of boring into the moon's soil to search for highly valued water ice. Such ice holds ...
Blue Ghost just sent back amazing photos of last night's "Blood Moon" total lunar eclipse from its perch in Mare Crisium, or "Sea of Crises," a vast basin on the northeastern region of the moon's near ...
At this distance, the moon appears smaller than the sun and doesn't cover the entire face of the sun. Instead, a ring of light is created around the moon. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the ...
It might be easier for us to explore and live on the Moon than we previously thought, scientists say. Ice may be present just below the lunar surface in more parts of the Moon’s polar regions ...
Ice could be present at more locations right beneath the Moon's surface at the poles than previously thought, a study of data collected by the Chandrayaan-3 mission has suggested. Large ...
Ice may be present a few centimetres below the Moon’s surface in more areas of the lunar polar regions than was previously thought due to large, yet highly localised, variations in surface ...
Ice may lie an inch or so below the Moon’s surface in many more regions than previously thought — which has major implications for longer-term lunar exploration or even habitation. The measurements ...
Chandrayaan-3's Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) achieved unprecedented in-situ temperature measurements at the Moon's south ... and potential water-ice deposits, which are ...
In a new study, researchers from the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad have found that the area of the moon where water ice can be easily accessed is greater than expected.
