Universe TodayEarth Bacteria Could Survive on the Moon for DecadesCould microbes survive in the permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) of the Moon? This is what a recent study presented at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference hopes to address as a team of researchers from the United States and Canada investigated the likelihood of long-term survival for microbes in the PSR areas of the Moon, which are craters located at the poles that don’t see sunlight due to the Moon’s small axial tilt. This study has the potential to help researchers better understand unlikely locations where they could find life as we know it throughout the solar system.

APOD from 2025-04-01

A Double Sunrise from a Partial #Eclipse

The Sun appeared to rise twice in Quebec during a partial eclipse, with the #Moon obscuring parts of it. A video captures this rare event over the St. Lawrence River, showing 'double sunrise' and 'horns' as the eclipsed Sun emerges. The phenomenon lasted under two minutes.

planetarymapping.elte.hu/lunok

is a map of the Luna 21 - Lunokhod 2 area in Le Monnier crater, published in 1973 by MIIGAiK, now known as the Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography. The path is overlaid as well as could be estimated at the time. Red circles along the route are lunar night stops. Curiously, the second night stop at lower left is in the wrong place, as we will see. One section was driven 3 times. #maps #moon #luna21 #lunokhod2

Explanation:
Can the Sun appear to rise twice at the same time? This was just the case a few days ago from Les Escoumins, Quebec, Canada as our Solar System's bright central orb rose just as it was being partially eclipsed by the Moon. The featured video shows this unusual double-sunrise in real time and being reflected by the St. Lawrence River. Soon after the initial two spots of light appear over distant clouds, what appears to be bright horns become visible -- which are really just parts of the Sun not being eclipsed. Soon, the entire eclipsed Sun is visible above the horizon. In all, this broken sunrise took less than two minutes during a partial eclipse that lasted many times longer. Although the Moon circles the Earth once a month (moon-th), it does not always eclipse the Sun because its tilted orbit usually takes it above or below.

"James Webb telescope takes emergency look at 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 ahead of close encounter in 2032" by @LiveScience - #NASA #JWST observations confirm #asteroid #2024YR4 will not impact Earth on the Dec 22, 2032 fly-by. An impact on the #Moon🌒 is still not ruled out. Another JWST observation is scheduled for May before the rock disappears into the dark outer solar system for several years. livescience.com/space/asteroid #astronomy #PlanetaryDefense #PlanetaryDefence #LowFlyingRocks #space
