Emily Costello, research scientist at the Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology in the UH Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, and co-authors developed a mathematical model to decode the history recorded in the lunar surface.
NASA has unveiled 10 stunning images that capture the vivid beauty of the cosmos, from colourful stars and glowing nebulae to powerful supernovae, offering a spectacular glimpse into the Universe’s incredible diversity.
The soil covering the moon may contain a remarkable record of ancient stars that exploded millions of years ago. Scientists have developed a new way to read this scrambled history, potentially turning lunar soil into a cosmic archive of our solar system’s journey through the Milky Way.
Moon dust contains an ancient cosmic record, and a new mathematical model could help scientists read the stardust buried deep in its scrambled layers.
Every day, meteorites ranging from microscopic dust grains to the occasional asteroid slam into the Moon. Each impact excavates fresh soil, redistributes buried material, and buries other layers deeper. Over millions of years, this cratering turns the lunar surface into what’s essentially a shuffled deck of cards.
(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - NASA has released never-before-seen video of an exploding star, billions of light years away. What they actually caught on camera was a little more boring--wavelength information about the imploding star's flash and shockwave. But NASA ...
Scientists working with material collected from asteroid Bennu have found a sticky, gum-like organic substance never before observed in any meteorite or space sample, alongside an unexpectedly large concentration of dust grains produced inside ancient ...
When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright, powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe. A new study led by a University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researcher has discovered that the moon's mixed-up soil can be read as a cosmic time capsule for exploding stars.
