COVID-19 Lockdown Caused Moon’s Temperature to Drop by 8-10 Kelvin, Reveals Indian Study
Indian scientists found that during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, lunar temperatures dropped by 8-10 Kelvin. The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, analysed data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, comparing six sites on the Moon’s surface between 2017 and 2023. The temperature drop is lin...

Darkest Regions of the Moon Explored Using Machine Learning Ahead of NASA’s Artemis Mission
A team of researchers have developed a method to help explore the darkest areas of the Moon that never receive sunlight. These are some of the coldest locations on the Earth's only natural satellite, and could contain ice which could be useful for future space missions. Researchers used a deep learning-driven post-processing tool and produced high-...
