NPR's Morning Editon had a nice segment on more evidence for (geologically) recent out-gassing on the moon, as published in Nature this week. It was a welcome change from discussions on the U.S. elections, which have been covered ad nauseam over the last few days. The audio isn't online yet, but here's a link to the Nature News page and the abstract.

Edit: NPR audio is now up.

laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif , JR...guess it had to be said!

Given the extreme scarcity of volatiles on the lunar surface & regolith, this might turn out to be quite important for any future colonization efforts. Are any of the future lunar orbiters equipped to detect and analyze such emissions?

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
