S27E28: Lunar Lander's Moonlight Slumber: Odysseus in Schomburger Crater
The Space, Astronomy & Science Podcast.
SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 28
*Odysseus Lunar Lander Enters Sleep on the Moon's Surface
Intuitive Machines' Nova-C lander, Odysseus, has entered a hibernation state after a challenging but historic landing near the lunar south pole. Despite a sideways touchdown that saw the craft tip over by 30 degrees, the mission has been hailed a success. Odysseus now faces the 15-day-long lunar night, with hopes that its solar panels have provided enough charge to weather the frigid darkness. This marks a pivotal moment for commercial spaceflight and the first American lunar landing in over half a century.
*The Atlantic Ocean's Days May Be Numbered
A study published in the journal Geology suggests that the Atlantic Ocean could begin to shrink in as little as 20 million years, as a subduction zone under the Strait of Gibraltar extends into the ocean. This process, part of the Wilson cycle, could signal the start of the Atlantic Ocean's closing chapter, with potential implications for seismic activity in the region.
*New Moons Found Orbiting Neptune and Uranus
Astronomers have spotted three new moons in our solar system, with two orbiting Neptune and one around Uranus. These faint celestial bodies are some of the smallest ever discovered using ground-based telescopes. The discovery increases Neptune's moon count to 16 and Uranus's to 28, offering new insights into the intricate dance of planetary satellites in the outer solar system.
Join us on SpaceTime as we explore the latest lunar developments, delve into the future of our oceans, and celebrate the discovery of new moons. Tune in to uncover the secrets of these celestial events and their impact on our understanding of the cosmos.
