How the Moon’s Thin Atmosphere is Formed: A Study of Space Weathering
By Admin
The Moon's thin atmosphere, or exosphere, is primarily formed through the process of impact vaporization, where meteorite impacts vaporize surface materials. This, combined with the solar wind, has created and sustained the exosphere over billions of years. Recent research highlights how these space-weathering processes play a crucial role in shaping the Moon’s environment, offering insights valuable for future lunar missions.

NASA’s Voyager 1 Is Sending Back Mysterious Data From Beyond Our Solar System
By Admin
NASA's Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has recently begun transmitting odd data back to Earth, puzzling engineers. Despite these anomalies in the attitude articulation and control system (AACS), the spacecraft continues to function, keeping its antenna directed at Earth to maintain communication. The challenge lies in the significant communication delay due to the spacecraft's vast distance—about 14.5 billion miles away. Engineers are investigating the root cause, with the spacecraft's advanced age and the unique interstellar environment being potential factors.
