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.

Terrestrial atmospheric ion implantation occurred in the nearside lunar regolith during the history of Earth’s dynamo: #moon is eating up molecules from Earth’s atmosphere: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/13/science/moon-stealing-earth-atmosphere-magnetic-field

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.

Absolutely stunning moon halo tonight. The belt of Orion is visible in the lower left. The planet Jupiter, the top left. And Capella shines brightly to the right. Gorgeous! #Astronomy #tennessee #moon

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.)
