NASA intends to conduct a fire experiment on the Moon in preparation for upcoming missions

Fire is one of the most serious concerns for upcoming crewed space missions. Scientists from NASA Glenn Research Center, Johnson Space Center, and Case Western Reserve University have outlined an experiment to study how materials burn on the Moon, where fire is expected to behave differently than on Earth. On Earth, gravity makes hot gases

A Lithium Cloud in Earth’s Atmosphere Was Traced to a Returning SpaceX Rocket

Space debris falling back to Earth is contaminating the once-pristine upper atmosphere with metallic pollutants as it incinerates during re-entry, according to a new study. Published in Communications Earth & Environment, the research was led by Robin Wing of the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Germany. Using highly sensitive laser instruments, the international team

If an Asteroid Hits the Moon in 2032, Earth could be Affected

There’s often a silver lining to any scenario. In 2032, the Moon could quite literally have one if it were struck by a 60-meter-wide asteroid. While the probability remains relatively low—about 4 percent—it’s not insignificant. The Dual Impact of a Lunar Collision Scientists are preparing for both the risks—threats to satellites and meteor fallout—and the
