International Moon Day 2024: A New Era of Lunar Exploration
International Moon Day 2024 celebrates humanity’s lunar achievements and the renewed focus on lunar exploration. Established by the United Nations, this day highlights international cooperation in space, coinciding with significant events like NASA’s Artemis II mission and global livestreams from China and Germany. As nations and private companies engage in the new space race, the potential for sustainable lunar habitation and future Mars missions grows. Join us in reflecting on past successes and the collaborative future of space exploration.
Exciting Discovery of Potential Subsurface Openings on the Moon
Exciting findings from a recent study published in Nature Astronomy reveal potential subsurface openings on the Moon, including a cave conduit beneath the lunar surface. Radar images captured by the Mini-RF instrument show a subsurface cave conduit extending from the Mare Tranquillitatis pit, raising the possibility of future lunar exploration and habitation. This discovery could lead to a lunar base providing shelter from the harsh lunar environment, supporting long-term human presence on the Moon and opening up new possibilities for scientific research and exploration.
