Study suggests lunar water formed from multiple sources across billions of years

A new study rethinks how water accumulated on the Moon, arguing it likely reflects contributions from several sources over billions of years rather than a single, dominant deposit laid down early. The findings narrow targets for where future measurements should focus as models of lunar volatiles are refined.

USC engineers develop a heat-tolerant memory chip designed to withstand Venus surface conditions A USC team has built a memory chip engineered for Venus-like thermal extremes, overcoming the fate of prior electronics that were destroyed shortly after landing due to surface heat. The breakthrough stems from a “happy accident” and enables operation at temperatures hotter than molten lava.

Artemis II: 10-day lunar flyby yields iconic Earth–Moon imagery as mission reaches 400,000 km-plus distance NASA’s Artemis II crew completed a 10-day hybrid free-return lunar flyby, traveling more than 400,000 km from Earth and sharing imagery that captures the Moon and Earth in the same frame as both are partially illuminated by the Sun. Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen flew the mission as part of the first return to the Moon since Apollo.
