Description:
European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. <br/><br/>The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production

It was a big deal 'cause it hit the south pole, which had never been done before. The rover and lander found some cool stuff, like clues about the Moon's makeup and history, which is gonna be super helpful for future missions. But get this: they didn't find any water up there, even though that was the main goal. They thought the polar regions might have some 'cause they're super cold and shady. But hey, here's a twist - turns out, the best bet for finding water might be beneath the surface, not on top! That's some next-level discovery right there.Credit: <br/>CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/: <br/>Simeon Schmauß: <br/>Pragyan rampdown, https://flic.kr/p/2oZUSxx <br/>Pragyan turn, https://flic.kr/p/2oZS83X <br/>Landing video, https://flic.kr/p/2oYUhnn <br/>Yutu-2: Kevin Gill, https://flic.kr/p/2m15iiU <br/>ChangE-4: CSNA/Siyu Zhang/Kevin M.
