Moon May Have Once Had Water

Smivs writes "US scientists have found evidence that water was held in the Moon's interior, challenging some elements of the theory of how Earth's satellite formed.The Moon is thought to have been created in a violent collision between Earth and another planet-sized object. Scientists thought the heat from this impact had vaporised all the water. But a new study in Nature magazine shows water was delivered to the lunar surface from the interior in volcanic eruptions three billion years ago. This suggests that water has been a part of the Moon since its early existence."

Scientists Find Evidence Of Water On The Moon

Scientists have decided that evidence collected from the surface of the Moon almost 40 years ago shows that water existed there since its infancy.

Assignment 32 - Water

Summer may be almost over officially but its still hot! To help us cool off, September's fun photography assignment will be water. Still water, moving water, muddy water. Whatever water you chose to photograph, make the water the subject. Of course you can have other items in the image, but water should be the main focus.

Scientists "listen" to plants to find water pollution

TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Scientists in Israel have discovered a new way to test for water pollution by "listening" to what the plants growing in water have to say.

Evidence of ancient water found on moon

A new analysis of volcanic glass recovered from the moon decades ago found the rocks contain traces of the constituents of water, challenging a long-held notion that the moon is perfectly dry.

Moon Website Launched

The official website for Moon, is now live, offering new details about this game developed by Renegade Kid. Moon is a sci-fi, action-adventure title for Nintendo DS which places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058. Researchers are shocked to find a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base, but it's a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch. Moon promises to deliver high-quality 3D visuals, intuitive controls, real-time lighting, and dynamic audio.

Cassini Prepares For Close Flyby of Saturn's Geyser-Spewing Moon

Saturn's tiny moon Enceladus is of big interest to planetary scientists trying to understand the dynamics of the moon's geysers and fissures. On August 11, the Cassini spacecraft will swoop by Enceladus for a close flyby, just 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the surface, with the fractures, or "tiger stripes" near the moon's south pole, where icy jets erupt as the target of study for the Cassini instruments. "Our main goal is to get the most detailed images and remote sensing data ever of the geologically active features on Enceladus," said Paul Helfenstein, a Cassini imaging team associate at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. "From this data we may learn more about how eruptions, tectonics, and seismic activity alter the moon's surface. We will get an unprecedented high-resolution view of the active area immediately following the closest a

How NASA Will Bomb the Moon To Find Water

mattnyc99 writes "A few weeks ago we got first word of NASA's plan to crash a spacecraft into the moon next February. The new issue of Popular Mechanics has an in-depth look at the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite and its low-cost, lightning-fast mission prep — even if delays have pushed it to late February or early March. Quoting: 'Andrews had no budget for an expensive lander to seek water, and conditions in the eternally dark polar craters would kill rovers, with temperatures close to minus 300 F. Instead, Blue Ice and its partners at Northrop Grumman came up with a concept to bring the lunar floor out in the open.... Since engineering precision hardware would break the budget, the LCROSS team had to make existing components work together.

"We Have Water" on Mars, TEGA Test Confirms

The Phoenix Mars lander finally was successful in delivering a fairly fresh sample of Martian soil to the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) oven on Wednesday and a "bake and sniff" test identified water in the soil sample. "We have water," said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead scientist for TEGA. "We've seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted."

Water, Water Everywhere on Mars

MarswaterThe red planet was once awash in water, say scientists -- not boiling water, but benign seas that may have been suitable for life.

Scientists watch water help proteins fold

Once believed unique to Earth, water has been found in comets, Mars and space -- and now U.S. scientists find it isn't really quite what they thought it was.

The White House is Briefed: Phoenix About to Announce "Potential For Life" on Mars

It would appear that the US President has been briefed by Phoenix scientists about the discovery of something more "provocative" than the discovery of water existing on the Martian surface. This news comes just as the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) confirmed experimental evidence for the existence of water in the Mars regolith on Thursday. Whilst NASA scientists are not claiming that life once existed on the Red Planet's surface, new data appears to indicate the "potential for life" more conclusively than the TEGA water results. Apparently these new results are being kept under wraps until further, more detailed analysis can be carried out, but we are assured that this announcement will be huge…

Water for Poor

As water resources continue to be depleted, access to clean water and sanitation in developing countries remains a high priority. Scientists and nanotechnologists are rising to the challenge of making water remediation more efficient and cost effective. But is science enough? Will the poor receive the benefit of the technologies that have the capabilities of changing their world?

US scientists find fresh evidence of life on Mars

In two new studies, the scientists report that Mars once hosted vast lakes, flowing rivers and a variety of other wet environments that had the "potential to support life".

NASA Building Kamikaze Spacecraft for Moon Research

Popular Mechanics has a cool article on the upcoming NASA mission to the moon to look for water ice below the surface. Instead of an expensive lander and sampling array like the Phoenix mission at Mars, scientists are working on a spacecraft that will have two parts, somewhat similar to the Cassini-Huygens mission to the Saturn moon Titan.

NASA to Develop GPS-Like System for the Moon

During the second moonwalk of the Apollo 14 mission, Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell were hoping to walk to the 300 meter (1,000 feet) wide Cone Crater on the moon, not far from their landing site. However, the two astronauts were not able to find the crater's rim amid the rolling, repetitive terrain. Later analysis using pictures the two astronauts took determined they had come within 65 feet of the crater. People are used to having certain visual cues to judge distances, such as the size of a building or another car on the horizon, said Ron Li, who has been awarded a $1.2 million grant to develop a navigation system to be used on the moon. Since the moon has no landmarks or cues to help determine distance, getting lost, or misjudging a distant object's size and location would be easy, and extremely dangerous.
