(Newser) – Almost 40 years after Apollo astronauts brought samples of the moon back to Earth, the extraterrestrial rocks are still yielding new information, the New York Times reports. In addition to attention from the Johnson Space Center, where they reside, samples are mailed out—on loan... Read full story »

Water Found in Moon Rock

Discovery stuns lunar experts

(NEWSER) - Water has been detected in moon rock brought to Earth by Apollo astronauts, reports Space.com. A team used a new super-sensitive technique to discover the water in volcanic glass beads in the rock. The stunning find, detailed in the journal Nature, is forcing scientists to rethink theories about the moon's origin 4.5 billion years ago. More»

Oxygen Flows on Saturn's Icy Moon

Dione can't support life or liquid oceans, but check out other gas giant moons

(NEWSER) - Good news for future space colonists: Saturn's icy moon, Dione, contains a thin layer of oxygen that hints at life on other gas giant satellites, the BBC reports. Spotted by the Cassini spacecraft about two years ago, Dione's oxygen layer lacks the necessary density to support life and is too thin to be called an atmosphere—scientists prefer "exosphere." But the discovery tells us that oxygen is common in Saturn's system and "it can come from a process that doesn't involve life," a scientist tells Space.com . More»

Lost Moon Rock Found in Clinton Files

Apollo 17 rock languished in gubernatorial files

(NEWSER) - In the 1970s, NASA presented a moon rock to all 50 states. Some, including Alaska and New Jersey, have lost theirs. In Arkansas, the rock had been thought lost for more than 30 years until it turned up in the files of former governor Bill Clinton. The rock—presented to Clinton's predecessor in 1976—had apparently been accidentally packed away with Clinton's gubernatorial files after he lost his re-election bid in 1980, MSNBC reports. More»

New Moon Images Show Astronaut Tracks

They also show debris left behind from Apollo missions

(NEWSER) - NASA today released a batch of high-resolution images of the moon that show close-ups of landing sites from three Apollo missions, reports Space.com . (NASA has labeled and unlabeled versions of the images, taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, here .) They show astronauts' footprints, the tracks of their lunar rovers, and, alas, the space trash left behind at the landing sites for Apollo 12, 14, and 17. More»

Moon Younger Than We Thought

Rock analysis shaves 200M years off moon's age

(NEWSER) - The moon may be a lot younger than previously believed, according to scientists using the latest technology to analyze rocks brought back by the Apollo 16 mission nearly 40 years ago. The researchers say the rocks—a kind believed to be the oldest that can be found on the moon—are around 200 million years younger than they expected, making the moon 4.4 billion years old instead of 4.6 billion years old, the Los Angeles Times reports.
