Representing what may be the first long term lunar environmental impact study, recent laser ranging data from the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico suggests the Lunar Ranging Retro Reflectors (LRRRs) left on the Moon by Apollo missions 11, 14 and 15 are beginning to shows signs of age.(...)Read the rest of It’s Not Just The Astronauts That Are Getting Older (470 words)© Steve Nerlich for Universe Today, 2010. | Permalink | 2 comments | ...Shared by lostalpinist (15)Comment View comments -

NASA Finds Millions of Tons of Water Ice in Lunar Craters | Popular Science (23)

Last year's "moon bombing" proved that water ice exists beneath the lunar south pole, but new findings from a NASA instrument aboard an Indian orbiter have determined that tons of water ice is hiding on the lunar surface in permanently shadowed craters at the north pole as well. Researchers estimate 600 million metric tons of water ice could be hiding there, an amount that could potentially sustain a manned moon base. NASA's Mini-SAR radar instrument ...Shared by adam (720) anglemona (142) Chris (685) chris789 (477) Cynthia Yildirim (85) DesiznTech (218) Donna Chaffins (702) Elmer Thomas (159) Fat Tony D'Amico (130) History of Blogging (154) and 13 more »Comment View comments -
Water Ice Found on Moon's North Pole (15)
onCraters at the north pole of the Moon. Red mean fresh craters and green means anomalous craters. Credit: NASA It's no longer a question of if there is water on the Moon; now it is how much. Scientists using the Mini-SAR instrument on India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft have detected water ice deposits near the moon's north pole. Mini-SAR, a lightweight, synthetic aperture radar, found more than 40 small craters with water ice. The craters range in ...Shared by AmyVernon (448) Ananya Walia (500) dagorret (349) Deborah Petersen (205) Donna Chaffins (702) Jim (13) JP Web Design (499) Kevin Louis (349) Leena (653) Marko (321) and five more »Comment View comments
