    Most scientists believe the rate at which the moon and Earth have been bombarded by meteorites has remained constant for the past two to three billion years. Understanding the age of craters on the moon can help us better understand the age of our own planet because the Earth would have received similar numbers of impacts. It’s been assumed that the rarity of young craters on Earth (those created 300-600 million years ago) is attributed to preservation bias — craters have been erased over the years by erosion and the movement of the Earth’s plates. Since then however, using a new method to date craters on the moon, my colleagues and I have determined that the rarity of craters 300-600 million years is due to a lower bombardment rate. In fact, the bombardment rate has increased by a factor of two to three in the past 300 million years. To test this idea, we compared the Earth’s crater record to the moon’s in an article published in the journal Science . We suggest that the scarcity of terrestrial craters that are 300-650 million years old is simply due to a lower bombardment rate during that period — and not due to preservation bias. Using rock abundance data from the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter to determine ages for lunar craters. Rebecca Ghent, University of Toronto and Thomas Gernon, University of Southampton, Author provided Dating craters The moon’s surface serves as a time capsule, helping us to detangle Earth’s history. There are tens of thousands of craters on the moon and the only way to see if the bombardment rate has changed is to have an age for every single crater.

    Dark matter and dark energy are two mysteries astronomers and physicists can’t pin point. In this episode, I’m talking about a theory that possibly could prove parallel universes/ multiverses exist. It’s total speculation, but a cool theory all the same. Please leave comments, let me know what you think. Thanks all.

    The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-40-year journey since their 1977 launches, they each are much farther away from Earth and the sun than Pluto. In August 2012, Voyager 1 made the historic entry into interstellar space, the region between stars, filled with material ejected by the death of nearby stars millions of years ago. Voyager 2 entered interstellar space on November 5, 2018 and scientists hope to learn more about this region. Both spacecraft are still sending scientific information about their surroundings through the Deep Space Network, or DSN. The primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn. After making a string of discoveries there — such as active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and intricacies of Saturn's rings — the mission was extended. Voyager 2 went on to explore Uranus and Neptune, and is still the only spacecraft to have visited those outer planets. The adventurers' current mission, the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM), will explore the outermost edge of the Sun's domain. And beyond. Learn about Voyagers' mission status: where they are in the solar system, the time required to communicate with them, and a lot more.

    The ESA (European Space Agency) and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than 11:11 a.m. EDT Saturday, July 1, to launch the Euclid spacecraft. Euclid is an ESA mission with contributions from NASA that will shed light on the nature of dark matter and dark energy, two of the biggest modern mysteries about the universe. Liftoff will be from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. NASA is contributing to the Euclid mission by delivering critical hardware for one of the spacecraft’s instruments, providing science team funding, and establishing a U.S.-based Euclid data processing center. Experts from NASA who are participating in Euclid are available for interviews upon request. Live launch coverage from ESA will air on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website starting July 1, at 10:30 a.m. Follow online at: https://www.nasa.gov/live Media can contact media@esa.int for questions about local launch coverage in Florida. Follow NASA social media accounts and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory social media accounts for mission updates. -end- Alise Fisher / Liz Landau Headquarters, Washington 202-358-2546 / 202-358-0845 alise.m.fisher@nasa.gov / elizabeth.r.landau@nasa.gov Calla Cofield Jet Propulsion Laboratory 818-393-1821 calla.e.cofield@jpl.nasa.gov Last Updated: Jun 26, 2023 Editor: Abbey Donaldson
