The Mystery Of MoonwaterHuntsville AL (SPX) Mar 19, 2010 Moonwater. Look it up. You won't find it. It's not in the dictionary. That's because we thought, until recently, that the Moon was just about the driest place in the solar system. Then reports of moonwater started "pouring" in - starting with estimates of scant amounts on the lunar surface, then gallons in a single crater, and now 600 million metric tons distributed among 40 craters near the lunar north pole.

Is That Titan Or UtahPasadena CA (JPL) Mar 08, 2010 Planetary scientists have been puzzling for years over the honeycomb patterns and flat valleys with squiggly edges evident in radar images of Saturn's moon Titan. Now, working with a "volunteer researcher" who has put his own spin on data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, they have found some recognizable analogies to a type of spectacular terrain on Earth known as karst topography. At a poster session on Thursday, March 4, at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas, displays th ... read more |
