In the MOONRISE project, researchers are working to transport 3D printing to the Moon. Laser Center Hannover (LZH) has been contracted with US-based tech firm Astrobotic for a special flight to the ...
Here's how Scientists have estimated that the moon was formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago when a small planet smashed into Earth. Because of the impact, the molten rock spread into space and slowly ...
As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon, there was a competition running for any interested animators to come up with new videos for each of the tracks ...
The presence of the aforementioned metals and minerals can be explained by geodynamic processes that began shortly after the Moon’s formation. Initially, the satellite was covered by an ocean of ...
Most scientists agree that the Moon was formed around 4.5 billion years ago after a small planet smashed into Earth, flinging molten rock into space which then cooled and formed the Earth's satellite.
During its early years of formation, the Moon may have undergone a dramatic process as a dense layer of material sunk deeper into its interior, mixed with the lunar mantle, and made its way back ...
Moreover, the researchers precisely dated when this overturn happened: some 4.22 billion years ago, shortly after the Moon formed from a chunk of Earth that broke off during a violent collision early ...
But how and why they got there has remained a mystery, until now. As the moon formed fast and hot, it was likely covered by a global magma ocean. As the molten rock gradually cooled and solidified ...
The Moon turned itself inside out after breaking off from the Earth, according to scientists. How our satellite formed has puzzled astronomers for centuries, but the leading theory today suggests ...
