NASA is appealing to the public to find innovative solutions to help Artemis astronauts navigate on and around the Moon's south pole.

Project Artemis aims to return humans to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo missions more than 50 years ago. Astronauts will land near the moon's south pole, an area where permanently shadowed regions could contain ice - a key resource for future space missions, including those to Mars.

Officially launched on September 4, the Lunar Navigation Challenge is soliciting ideas for a simple, back-up navigation device that astronauts can use to find their way around the moon, moving between the lander and various points of interest. Another part of the challenge is to find solutions for mapping and exploring Shackleton Crater, a 21km-wide, 4.2km-deep formation in permanent shadow.

The Mysterious 9-Day Hum in Greenland in 2023 Unraveled After a Year

Ionut Vornicu News 14 September 2024 14 September 2024 Last Updated: 22 September 2024 Hits: 572 1 minute read

In September 2023, the melting of a glacier in Greenland triggered a massive landslide that caused a 200-meter mega-tsunami. But what followed was anything but unusual: a mysterious vibration that lasted for nine days and was felt around the world. After a year of intense research, a 68-strong international team of scientists has managed to decipher the phenomenon, according to a new study published in the journal Science. Their discovery underlines once again that the Arctic region is entering a period of radical change as global temperatures continue to rise.

Seismologists were initially confused, thinking their equipment was faulty when they detected strange vibrations in the ground. Unlike normal earthquakes, this 'hum' lasted much longer and was completely unprecedented. The source of the signal was located in eastern Greenland near Dickson Fjord, where a tsunami had already been reported. The international collaboration of researchers has concluded that these phenomena are linked to what experts call 'cascading hazards', all rooted in climate change caused by human activities.
