Isotopic evidence for volatile loss driven by South Pole-Aitken basin–forming impact: #Moon

Isotopic evidence for volatile loss driven by South Pole-Aitken basin–forming impact: #Moon Is Asymmetrical: https://eos.org/articles/primordial-impact-may-explain-why-the-moon-is-asymmetrical - analysis of surface samples from the Chang’e-6 mission suggests that an asteroid may have vaporized parts of the lunar mantle, suppressing volcanic activity on the farside of the Moon.

The little crescent on the right is Earth. Moon in the middle. Artemis/Integrity on the left. Every human being is in this picture.

#NASA's #Artemis II Crew Launches To The #Moon (Official Broadcast)

Reminder to those in #australia - the blood red #moon #eclipse is tonight and has started - total eclipse in half an hour from now

"Chang'E-4 (CE4), the first mission to soft-land on the lunar farside, provides a unique opportunity for astronomical observations from an environment shielded from terrestrial radio interference, and thus serves as pathfinder for #LunarFarside radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) studies. We present a search for periodic technosignatures using low-frequency radio observations from the CE-4 mission, the first radio #SETI study based on data from on the observation in lunar farside": #Moon ...

The origami wheel that could explore lunar caves
Beneath the moon's cratered surface lie networks of lava tubes and deep pits, natural caves that could shelter future lunar bases from cosmic radiation and wild temperature swings. These underground structures represent some of the most scientifically valuable areas in the solar system, but they come with the very real challenge of simply getting there.

The #Moon in a perfectly fitting #easteregg shape in the live stream #ArtemisII right now.

More #MareOrientale in this new #ArtemisII #Moon image - https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/55190158269/in/album-72177720307234654 - than in the first one with a long focal length presented. The lunar flyby webcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-j1uxBmis0 will begin at 17:00 UTC today and the lunar observations run from 18:45 UTC to 1:20 UTC on 7 April - as explained in the press conference tonight we will mostly get images from the exterior cameras with astronaut commentary of what they see; real photographs like this one will be downloaded later during the day and the following ones.

The #Moon with #earthshine and #Venus in two stages of #dusk over #Bochum, Germany, this evening: in https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=dan.fischer.393&set=a.10233702649202911 and https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/20/der-artemis-ii-stack-steht-erneut-auf-der-rampe/ more pictures!

From the #LPSC #NASA HQ Briefing: the four American robotic #Moon landings planned for this year - the Blue Origin HLS demonstrator for #Artemis should go first, as early as next month. (There is a little #VIPER looking at the latter because this homeless rover might fly on a second demonstrator - if they can figure out how to get it from the 8 meters high lander to the surface.)
