THE MOON

Laura Cicco, a resident of Kansas, is preemptively suing NASA over moon dust. Cicco claims she was given a vial moondust from Neil Armstrong. She is suing NASA so that they don't have the capability of seizing the artifact from her. Cicco even has a signed personal note from Armstrong reading: "To Laura Ann Murray - Best of Luck - Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11." NASA has yet to comment on the case, saying that it would be inappropriate to do so at this time. https://www.geek.com/science/woman-sues-nasa-for-possession-of-moon-dust-gifted-by-neil-armstrong-1742992/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Suing for the moon! Gizmodo reports that Laura Murray Cicco filed a lawsuit against NASA last week. The lawsuit was preemptively filed against the agency … … to keep it from trying to seize the lunar moment NASA in the past has seized such items. The object in question is a vial of moon dust, gifted to Cicco by Neil Armstrong in the 70’s in an interview with the Washington Post, Cicco’s attorney Christopher McHugh says: Laura was rightfully given this stuff by Neil Armstrong, so it’s hers and we just want to establish that legally, McHugh hasn’t heard from NASA yet NASA has 60 days to respond. https://gizmodo.com/woman-sues-nasa-so-she-can-keep-her-vial-of-moon-dust-f-1826764287 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

According to a report by Geek.com, scientists now believe that they have solved a 40 year-old mystery that has lingered since NASA's third human space flight program, the Apollo missions. A team of researchers recovered and restored major portions of the previously unarchived data from the program which ran from January 1975 to September 1977. In a paper published by the American Geophysical Union’s Journal of Geophysical Research, scientists now suggest that by walking and drivingon the Moon’s surface, astronauts destroyed its celestial equilibrium. Causing the satellite to reflect less of the Sun’s light back out to space, raising its temperature 1-2 degrees Celsius https://www.geek.com/science/lost-moon-tapes-help-solve-decades-old-lunar-mystery-1742864/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

SpaceX has officially said that it will need more time before it’s first moon mission. SpaceX had originally planned to send a pair of tourists around the moon. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company wants to slow down their plans. The trip was scheduled for later this year, but the company won’t be able to meet that timeline. This is pretty common for SpaceX, which struggles frequently to meet deadlines. The company hasn't provided a new timeline yet on when the trip could be taking place. https://www.geek.com/science/spacex-delays-its-inaugural-moon-mission-1742089/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine asked commercial companies to help get the agency back to the Moon as quickly as possible during an ‘industry day', Tuesday, May 8, 2018, held at NASA Headquarters in Washington. NASA is calling for commercial proposals for delivering instruments, experiments, and other small payloads to the surface of the Moon as early as next year. This solicitation is part of a broader Exploration Campaign that will pave the way for a human return to the Moon. This video is available for download from NASA's Image and Video Library: https://images.nasa.gov/details-NHQ_2018_0508_Administrator%20Bridenstine%20-%20We%20Are%20Going%20the%20Moon.html

Even daily communication changes when living on the moon. Without air to carry our voices, we might rely on lasers to beam our message home.

On April 23, 1962, NASA launched the Ranger 4 mission to the moon. After the first three Ranger missions failed, NASA was really happy with the successful launch of Ranger 4. But the fun didn't last long. After a picture-perfect launch on an Atlas-Agena rocket, Ranger 4 stopped transmitting telemetry data. Tracking stations picked up an empty signal from its radio transponder. Without that telemetry, mission control couldn't confirm that the spacecraft had deployed its solar panels and high-gain antenna. When they tried to send commands to its on-board computers, they got no response. They could tell from fluctuations in the radio signal that Ranger 4 had not stabilized itself like it was supposed to. Instead, it was tumbling around in space with its solar panels still tucked in to its sides. While the mission was essentially a failure at that point, Ranger 4 did become the first American spacecraft to reach the moon. It crashed into the moon's far side three days after the launch.

Researchers recently trained an artificial intelligence program to identify and count craters on the moon.

Thousands of previously unknown craters have been spotted on the moon. It's all thanks to an artificial intelligence program. Researchers at the University of Toronto developed the program. It allows scientists to find and measure craters down to scales smaller than ever. Researchers proved their A.I. performed twice as well as manual counting. It spotted 6,000 previously unidentified craters. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/a-i-spots-thousands-of-unidentified-craters-on-the-moon/ http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

SPACE— Researchers theorize that the moon was created inside Earth in a new study published this week. The most prominent lunar formation theory holds that the moon was formed when a Mars-sized object named Theia hit Earth 4.6 billion years ago. A cocktail of rock and metal erupted from both celestial bodies, mixing together to birth the moon. New research posits that a collision with something did occur but instead created a giant donut-like spinning mass of vaporized rock called a synestia. Researchers believe the moon was fashioned inside this — potentially over hundreds of years — by atmospheric pressure, extreme heat and rock. Details of the findings were published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Subscribe to TomoNews ►►http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-TomoNews TomoNews is your best source for real news.

Great documentary looking at mans amazement with the moon

The night sky had a display in store on Wednesday 31 January, with a lunar event being called the "super blue blood moon". For Australia, Asia and some parts of the US and Eastern Europe, there was a lunar eclipse, as the Earth passed between the Sun and the Moon.

The Supermoon Trilogy we've been experiencing since December will end with a bang on January 31st, combining a Supermoon, a Blue Moon, and a Total Lunar Eclipse. Slooh will livecast the entire eclipse, starting at 5:45am EST. Its duration is a projected 5 hours, 17 minutes, with the totality phase lasting 1 hour, 16 minutes, starting at approximately 7:50am EST. Join our team of experts at 7:00am EST as they share the fascinating science, ancient lore, and human stories behind lunar eclipses - that most captivating of celestial events - as well as supermoons and blue moons. The eclipse will be visible from western North America, the Pacific Ocean, Australia, and parts of Asia. Slooh will feature live feeds from partners in Hawaii, Australia and Asia. This is the first total Lunar Eclipse since September 28, 2015 and it has been almost seven years since has one entered as deeply into the umbral shadow as this one will! The next total Lunar Eclipse will be on July 27, 2018. Total lunar eclipses are often referred to as “Blood Moons” because of the reddish color the Moon assumes during totality and this one promises to have a vibrant and ruddy hue. This trilogy of large full moons is not rare, but a wonderful cosmic rhythm - supermoons generally come in threes. When a Full Moon occurs when the Moon is near its closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit (termed perigee), we call it a "Supermoon". Unlike solar eclipses, which are only visible from specific locations on Earth, lunar eclipses are visible anywhere it is nighttime. The winner and runners-up of the first Fenimore Cooper Prize for Eclipse Writing will also be announced. Slooh launched this contest in August to commemorate the 2017 Transcontinental Eclipse; read all of the finalists’ submissions in January’s Best of Illuminations.

For the first time in 150 years, we will experience a blue moon (two full moons in a month), super moon (when the moon is at it's closest point in its orbit and full), and a lunar eclipse, (when the Earth blocks the sun from the moon).

The 'blue moon' - a phenomenon when there's two full moons in one month - is especially rare as it lines up with a supermoon and a blood moon. . Report by Charlotte Brehaut.

Next 31 Jan. 2018, the Moon will offer an amazing total eclipse, well visible from Australia and West USA. As in the past, the Virtual Telescope Project will partner with some great astro-imagers there to bring to you the stunning beauty of such a unique event. Yes, it will be somewhat unique: the 31 Jan, 2018 Full Moon will be a Supermoon and will be a Blue Moon, too! Soon, we will announce the names of this amazing, international team, but it is time for you to save the date. The online, free session is scheduled for 31 Jan. 2018, staring at 11:30 UT

Our Dr J gives a brief explanation about how lunar eclipses work. The images of a lunar eclipse from 2015 are form our student and astrophotographer Marcus Lower. Simulations used in this video are from Astronomy Education at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Web Site (http://astro.unl.edu).

China is pretty darn serious about putting people on the moon. It has the training program to prove it. To help prepare people for the arduous task of lunar travel, Chinese students on the campus of Beihang University in Beijing recently underwent 200 continuous days in a “lunar lab.” This in order to simulate what it might be during an extended stay on the moon. The four volunteers spent six-and-a-half months living in the 1,720-square-foot “Yuegong-1” cabin. Prior to the four volunteers entering the facility for 200 days, it was occupied by two men and two women. They had stayed for 60 days. Now that the four who stayed for 200 days have departed, the original four will return for an additional 105 days. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/200-day-lunar-lab-china/ http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

MOON — NASA says Earth is in for a lunar trifecta of a "super blue blood moon" on January 31, 2018. Lunar orbit of Earth follows a 29-day cycle. The blue moon, like the one on January 31, occurs when there are two full moons in a calendar month. The moon will also be close to Earth during this time, meaning it will be brighter than normal. This is called a supermoon. When the moon passes through the Earth's shadow during the Jan. 31 lunar eclipse it will appear red. This creates the blood moon. Most of Asia, Australasia and the northwestern America will be able to see this super blue blood moon, while much of South America, Africa and West Europe will not. The rest of the world will be able to see it partially depending on their location. The last time a total lunar eclipse to coincided with a blue moon was in 1982, reports Time, citing NASA programmer Ernest Wright and ex-NASA astrophysicist Fred Espenak.

If you're not interested in the upcoming Super Bowl, perhaps you're more interested in the the super blue blood moon. While this might conjure apocalyptic visions, it's simply the confluence of several different lunar phenomena in one crazy night. The scheduled full moon on January 31 will be the third in a string of recent “super moons,” where the moon is closer to earth in its orbit. This makes the moon about 14 percent brighter than usual. Because it's the second full moon of the month it's considered a "blue moon." And because it coincides with a lunar eclipse, a reddish tint will be cast on the moon, making it a “blood moon.” https://www.themanual.com/culture/super-blue-blood-moon-january-2018/ http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

January 31 brings a lunar trifecta: the super blue blood Moon! Starting at 5:30 a.m. Eastern, NASA TV will offer a livestream of the Moon. This full moon is the third in a series of “supermoons,” when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit -- known as perigee -- and about 14 percent brighter than usual. It’s the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon.” The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a “blood moon.” More: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/super-blue-blood-moon-coming-jan-31 Credit: NASA 360 This video is available for download from NASA's Image and Video Library: https://images.nasa.gov/details-NHQ_2018_0126_Jan.%2031,%202018%20Super%20Blue%20Blood%20Moon.html

Here is why we only see one side of the moon.

The Moon is a destination, a laboratory for science, a place to learn the skills of planetary exploration, and a source of materials and energy for use on the Moon and in space to create new spacefaring capability. Advocate of a human return on the Moon, Paul D. Spudis, Senior Staff Scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston (Texas, USA), takes us on a journey to rediscover the value of lunar exploration, a topic on which he has spent more than 40 years of study, thought and publications. Space Bites hosts the best talks on space exploration from the most inspiring and knowledgeable speakers from the field. Held at the technical heart of the European Space Agency in the Netherlands, the lectures are now also available on YouTube. If you want to know about the present and future challenges of ESA, stay tuned for more. To know more about the exploration of the Moon visit http://lunarexploration.esa.int

With my main targets not in view, I decided to see if I could image the moon with my ZWO ASI1600MM-cool. I used an Ha filter with an exposure duration of 0.01 seconds and a gain/offset of 139/21. The telescope used was my Orion ED80T CF refractor with a .8 reducer.

Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1) will be the first integrated flight of NASA's Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft and launch from the agency’s modernized spaceport in Florida. The uncrewed mission will send Orion thousands of miles beyond the Moon and is a critical flight test for NASA’s human deep space exploration goals. EM-1 lays the foundation for the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, as well as a regular cadence of missions thereafter near the Moon and beyond.

This 4K visualization shows the Moon's phase and libration at hourly intervals throughout 2018, as viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. Two 'supermoons' will ring in the New Year on Jan. 1, 2018 and Jan. 31, 2018. Each frame represents one hour. In addition, this visualization shows the moon's orbit position, sub-Earth and subsolar points, distance from the Earth at true scale, and labels of craters near the terminator.

On Aug. 21, 2017, over ten million Americans witnessed the first total eclipse of the sun in the U.S. in almost forty years. In "Sun, Moon, Earth," author, astronomer, artist, and professor Tyler Nordgren illustrates how different cultures interpret eclipses through a series of accounts from a variety of ancient and modern scientists.

Acting NASA Administrator Robert Lightfoot and National Space Council Executive Secretary Scott Pace comment on Space Policy Directive 1, signed Monday, Dec. 11, 2017, by President Trump at the White House. The policy calls on NASA to work with international and commercial partners to send humans to the Moon, with a horizon goal of sending astronauts to Mars.

On October 5th, 2017, US Vice President Mike Pence announced that NASA is going back to the Moon. He didn’t provide any other details, just some kind of moonward directed space exploration. And it turns out they won’t be the only ones. The Moon is going to be a busy busy place.

NASA won’t be visiting asteroids, retrieving samples, and working towards the human exploration of Mars, instead they’ll be targeting the Moon. Exactly how is still up in the air. I’m sorry, I sound like a total killjoy here, but every time NASA has its plans wrenched in a new direction, I get a little more exhausted. But, this is the problem of giant, goals-based mission planning. I’m still holding out for some capabilities-driven missions. However, there are a total of 5 different groups targeting the human exploration of the Moon. Nobody near the Moon for almost 50 years, and suddenly everyone wants to visit.
