A protective vest tested on a manikin during NASA’s first Artemis moonshot could drastically cut the radiation exposure of lunar astronauts during severe solar storms.
Scientists reported Wednesday on the radiation-shielding vest worn around the moon by a female test dummy in 2022.
No one was aboard that Artemis I debut flight, which paved the way for humanity’s long-awaited return to the moon in April by a flyby crew of four.
Radiation remains one of the biggest threats to a…
New Constraints on the Spatial and Temporal Evolution of the Lunar Surface Regolith: #lunar explorers, depending on the task at hand.
NASA has announced that it will release a solicitation related to lunar surface power this month
and that it is considering sending a rover powered by a
"radioisotope thermoelectric generator" (RTG) to the moon.
In a press conference,
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and NASA Moon Base Program Manager Carlos García-Galšn discussed new award announcements
to Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace, and Intuitive machines
to deliver NASA science payloads to…
Last night, to make the most of the combination of the still almost New Moon (only 5% illuminated), clear sky/weather, Milky Way alignment/visibility and still near-peak Perseids meteor shower (with ~50 per hour), I spent three hours alone in one of the darkest places within easy reach and with absolutely great views across a lake to boot...
Here's a short time lapse animation of the Milky Way rotating over the Alps near Füssen from around 23:30 - midnight... 290 frames, each 15 second…
new plan for global warming: deploy a billion solar panels to capture the sun's energy and use that to power a giant laser that will send our excess heat to the moon. (the giant space laser attracts funding; the solar panels mysteriously disappear from the asset inventory when the project collapses)

Alexander Simpson came in first at the Twilight 5K -- he comes in first quite often in road races! Between going to New England, prioritizing people I gave a token to, and not overloading my followers I am not so fast posting photos...

First steps when we take our first steps on a new planet:
1) Take a step
2) Bring in cars
3) Build roads with lasers
Humanity really is a special breed. 🤦

I want a solar (and lunar) eclipse emoji. The new moon sun emojis just don’t really cut it. 🌑☀️

A new perspective on the 12 August Total #SolarEclipse, from a Russian weather satellite on a #Molniya orbit, showing Europe (with few clouds in Spain while Iceland is invisible) from above, in contrast to the slant view from a geostationary wx sat, with the Moon's #umbra proceeding south: two processed stills from the animation https://x.com/conspiracyslyr/status/2091012490360471586 - which lead yet another link-a-thon with more eclipse stuff at the bottom of https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/08/21/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-21-august-2026/
Astronomy from Corrulón (Spain) on the morning of 9 August 2/3: the Moon 3 1/2 days before being as new as it gets and totall eclipsing the Sun from here.
