Therefore, by measuring S, information regarding the conditions of a magma can be acquired. The aim of this work is to investigate what S can tell us about the behaviour of late-stage lunar basaltic magmas. An analytical protocol was developed to simultaneously measure S and Cl abundances and isotopes of lunar apatite in eleven lunar basalts with nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS).

    THE MOON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Justin Stares | 172 pages | 30 Jun 2010 | Revel Barker | 9780956368652 | English | Brighton, United Kingdom From The Bottom Of The Well | KHD Many describe this as when the 'horns' of the Moon point upward. This can happen once or twice a year, again depending on the latitude of your location. This change in the appearance of the Moon has been observed for a very long time. And many conflicting definitions have been given to these lunar appearances. Some ancient skywatchers spoke of the crescent Moon when the bottom seems to be lit as the "wet moon". They thought it looked like a bowl which could fill up with the rain and snow of the winter season. However, many other cultures have defined the Moon when lit on the bottom as the "dry moon" since in that configuration, the Moon is "holding in the water". As winter passes into spring and summer, the crescent shape slowly shifts toward the south and begins to "stand on its end". To some ancients, this represented the Moon assuming a pouring position in which it will lose its water and result in the great summer rains. The result was the creation of a "dry moon", one which held no water because it all poured out. On the other hand, other cultures said that such a moon is a wet moon because it allowed the water to pour out! Expand the sub menu TV. Expand the sub menu What To Watch. Expand the sub menu Music.

  • Wet Moon, Lucky Moon
    Home / Space/ Specials Wet moon, lucky moon On Monday 26 October 2020, NASA revealed a sensational discovery about our Moon: there is definitely water, also on its sunlit surface. The announcement was made with a press conference streamed at 5 p.m. Italian time. The notion that there is water on the Moon was more than just a suspicion, but the SOFIA airborne observatory has now spotted it at the bottom of a crater, where the temperature is -200°C because it is never exposed to sunlight. But don’t imagine lakes and rivers: the water is formed of tiny crystals mixed with regolith, lunar sand. SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) is equipped with a 2.5-metre diameter telescope installed on a Boeing 747, a large airliner with no passenger seats and a big opening in the fuselage: the window through which the telescope overlooks the sky. The plane flies at an altitude of 12,000 metres: here, the rarefied, transparent air makes it possible to record extraordinarily high-quality observations. The presence of water on the Moon is encouraging for the scientists of the Artemis project, which will take a pair of astronauts, a woman and a man, to walk on the satellite by 2024 and, perhaps, the first crew on Mars in 2030. Indeed, the Moon could become an intermediate stage on the great journey from Earth to the Red Planet: the lunar water could quench the astronauts’ thirst and irrigate the space gardens. The NASA website contains wonderful detailed descriptions of all the equipment and technologies that will bring humanity back to the Moon 50 years after the last walk.
