NASA recently opened a call for commercial partners to submit their ideas for a lunar lander. While an up-close view of the moon is valuable for some applications, orbital missions also have scientific merit. NLSI’s David Morrison explains when it’s useful to use each.

Lunar dust has an electrical charge to it that, for reasons scientists are still trying to determine, causes it to leap from the surface when exposed to sunlight. Shaded regions of the moon appear to have a negative charge in comparison to spots in the sun, causing the dust to move back and forth across sunlit areas if there’s a shadowed crater in between.

Apollo astronauts on the moon first scooped up lunar samples 44 years ago this month. Decades later, researchers are still finding new things from those rocks – including the University of Notre Dame’s Heiju Hui, who discovered more water in these samples than previously measured.
His team’s findings could change understanding of how the moon formed. Scientists today believe the moon was formed from debris after a body the size of Mars smashed into Earth. Under this model, however, the water would have been flung away into space.

The lunar gravity field is rather lumpy and bumpy, affecting spacecraft orbits and making landing on the Moon a tricky challenge. Scientist have known the cause of the lumpy gravity since 1968, when they discovered areas of concentrations of mass or “mascons” within the Moon. But they haven’t known for sure what created these mascons. Until now.

The latest research points to the water in the interior of the Moon and Earth sharing a common origin.

We know that the Moon has been the victim of countless impacts during its history, where the surface has been pummeled and sometimes turned to liquid from the heat of impacts. This hot liquid lava would mix with minerals from the impactor, changing the surface make-up of the Moon. But new research has shown that lunar impacts may not have completely wiped away the pre-existing mineralogy on the Moon. Deepak Dhingra, a Graduate Student in Planetary Geosciences at Brown University, joins today’s podcast.

“What does the Moon mean to you?” is the theme for this year’s International Observe the Moon Night on October 8, 2011. Our neighbor in space has always fascinated us, both culturally and scientifically. Starting with the first human steps in 1969, six of 11 Apollo missions landed astronauts on the Moon to do a variety of science experiments, which continue today. For example, the Apollo lunar laser ranging experiment still exists, with scientists aiming lasers at reflectors on the Moon to measure its distance from Earth. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, LRO, has sent back highly detailed images showing the locations of those first missions and the science lab equipment that was so much a part of humanity’s first steps off our home planet.

The early solar system looked nothing like our planetary neighborhood today that we know and love. It was a violent place with mountain-sized and even planet-sized piles of rock and ice coming together in collisions, or sometimes, these planet in the making, called “planetesimals” could even have a gravitational effect on other bodies, causing them to move around like dancers on a dance floor, shifting the orbits of objects around the Sun.

Will we ever live and work on the Moon? It’s been a dream of scientists, space advocates and science fiction fans for decades. While the debate of whether to return to the Moon, or if we should go to asteroids or Mars is now ongoing, one thing to consider is the scientific research that could be done from the Moon. Many scientists feel that the moon would be an excellent location for telescopes, — both on the surface an in lunar orbit – and they could help answer some of the most important questions in astrophysics today.
