Moon dust may be hiding a 100-million-year record of exploding stars
For more than half a century, tiny tubes of gray lunar dirt scooped up by Apollo astronauts have been sitting in NASA vaults. They’ve been prodded, sliced and analyzed to reveal the Moon’s geological past.
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.
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.
(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 ...
