Graves of Twin Moon Probes Spotted by NASA Spacecraft
An eagle-eyed NASA spacecraft has spotted the tiny craters two moon probes created when they crashed intentionally into the lunar surface last year. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) snapped a series of photographs of the two 16.5-foot-wide (5 meters) craters, which mark where the space agency’stwin Grail probesended their gravity-mapping mission, and their operational lives, on Dec. 17 Continue reading

Moon bounce | Bad Astronomy
Of all the amazing pictures returned from the moon by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and I may include the Apollo landing sites among them I think my favorites are the ones showing boulders that rolled down slopes. Did I say rolled? I mean bounced! [Click to enselenate.] This shot from LRO shows the floor of crater Shuckburgh E, an impact crater about 9 km (~6 miles) across. Continue reading
Request for Cootinator for Plaentary Astronomy Concepts With a Future 2.4-meter Telescope
NASA is exploring the use of a 2.4-m mirror system recently gifted to them by the National Reconnaissance Office; this system could be the nucleus of a new ultraviolet-optical (UVO) space telescope. Information is available at the website of a recent Princeton meeting: http://www.princeton.edu/astro/news-events/public-events /new-telescope-meeting/ including a program with links to the presented talks.
