Lunar Quakes, Stellar Explosions, and the Mystery of Missing Sulphur

Seismic Secrets of the Moon: Explore new research revealing that our lunar neighbour is more seismically active than previously thought. This study highlights the potential risks posed by moonquakes to future lunar bases, emphasising the need for careful planning and site selection for long-term habitats on the Moon.- Dramatic Stellar Demise: Witness the extraordinary tale of a massive star's explosive end as it interacts with a black hole companion. This unprecedented event, captured in real time by an AI system, provides groundbreaking insights into the dynamics of stellar explosions and the role of binary interactions.- Unraveling the Mystery of Missing Sulphur: Delve into the cosmic enigma of sulphur's scarcity in the universe. Recent findings suggest that this essential element is not missing but rather locked away in solid forms within icy grains of interstellar dust, reshaping our understanding of its distribution and significance in planetary formation.- Rethinking Vesta: Discover how a reanalysis of data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft is challenging our perceptions of Vesta, one of the largest objects in the asteroid belt. This research proposes that Vesta may not be a failed protoplanet but rather a remnant of a larger differentiated planet destroyed in the early solar system, offering new insights into planetary evolution.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.
