📸 Lunar Farside
From lunar orbit, we can view the Moon's rugged farside. This sharp mosaic, made from over 15,000 images by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, reveals a surface very different from the smooth nearside.

A detailed grayscale mosaic of the Moon's farside, captured from lunar orbit. The surface is rugged and heavily cratered, with no large smooth dark maria like those found on the Moon’s nearside. Craters of various sizes densely cover the terrain, giving it a rough, pockmarked appearance. The image is centered on the farside and shows a wide expanse of the Moon's surface at high resolution.

They look like space glitter, but these tiny glass beads could rewrite the Moon’s volcanic history.

Wait for the rush to get more seismic recorders up there! A thump as hard as this will bounce around inside the moon for years. To be followed by investigations of the brand new crater.

🌙💦 Did you know the holds more water than we once believed? 🚀✨ Research by Ananya Mallik, Sabrina Schwinger, Arkadeep Roy, and Pranabendu Moitra reveals a key factor controlling H₂O levels on the moon, challenging past assumptions. Dive into their dataset and article at doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.2011 and doi.org/10.1111/maps.13921 respectively. Image: StockCake

In a surreal, moon-like landscape, an astronaut clad in a reflective spacesuit pauses by the edge of a small, serene blue pond. A solitary tree, unusually thriving in this barren terrain, stands on a hill nearby, adding a touch of life to the desolate, rocky environment. The scene captures a moment of peaceful reflection in an otherwise inhospitable world, suggesting both isolation and a hint of the unknown.

Looks like the moon had quite the explosive youth! 🌋 China's Chang'e-6 mission revealed 1.4 billion years of volcanic drama on the far side. And here I thought I had an eventful past! Now it just sits there looking pristine, but these samples tell us it was once a real hothead. #Space #LunarScience
