First Broadband Wireless Connection...to the Moon?!
2014-05-22 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Team of researchers from MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, working with NASA last fall, demonstrated that a data communication technology exists that can provide space dwellers with connectivity people enjoy on Earth, enabling large data transfers and HD video streaming. At CLEO: 2014, team will present new details and first comprehensive overview of on-orbit performance of laser-based communication uplink between moon and Earth, which beat previous record transmission speed last fall by factor of ...This story is related to the following:Trade Associations

Since 2009, computer scientists and history preservationists have been working to recover and restore original NASA footage of the first lunar probes. The results of their work are astounding -- these new vistas of the Moon include the first shots of Earthrise, snapped years before the Apollo team took its iconic photos.

Total Eclipse Paints the Moon Red
2014-04-15 23:41:18| TechNewsWorld
A total lunar eclipse in the early hours of Tuesday gave viewers a rare glimpse of what's sometimes called a "blood moon," due to the reddish hue it takes on as a result of dust in the atmosphere. Beginning at about 1:55 AM EDT on April 15, the eclipse lasted roughly three and a half hours -- peaking at 3:45 a.m. EDT. -- and was visible in North America, South America and Australia.
NASAs Cassini may have witnessed the birth and death of a new Saturnian moon
2014-04-15 16:47:12| Extremetech
NASA's Cassini satellite appears to have captured an incredibly rare photo that shows the birth of a new moon emerging from the rings of Saturn. The facts are a little hazy at the moment because we only have a handful of photos to work from, but there is some evidence to suggest that Cassini has actually spotted two new moons over the last couple of years, and that one of those moons has since been destroyed. Never in the history of humanity have we spotted the creation (or destruction) of a moon -- and, more importantly (at least as far as science is concerned), this could tell us a lot about how Saturn's larger moons formed over the last few billion years.
Watch the lunar eclipse blood moon tonight, and witness the beginning of the end of the world (maybe)
2014-04-14 12:55:06| Extremetech
If you're into skygazing, you really should stay up late tonight (April 14, April 15) and watch the first of a series of four "blood" moons -- a sequence of lunar eclipses called a tetrad that will occur over the next two years, and which some religious types believe signifies the beginning of the apocalypse. Mars is also incredibly close to Earth at the moment, making it the brightest object in the sky except for the Moon.
