Looks like #Perseverance is finding more of those #spherules we saw last year, this time in loose regolith, too.

Den Mond mit Glasfasern durchleuchten

Künftige Mondmissionen könnten ein Hilfsmittel nutzen, das wir vom schnellen Internet zu Hause kennen: Glasfaserkabel. Forschende der ETH Zürich und aus den USA untersuchen derzeit, ob diese leichten Kabel dabei helfen, das Innere des Mondes zu erforschen und Mondbeben präzise zu messen.

“Los Alamos residents protest nuclear waste storage, including venting of radioactive gasses”

"The New Mexico Environment Department stated that venting the gas is the safest option for some of the waste due to the pressurized state of the containers, which poses a risk of explosion if moved.”
