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

_earth-has-more-than-one-moon-but-not-for-long.webp "While it may sound like science fiction, Earth indeed has more than one moon, although temporary ones. These mini-moons are usually small asteroids or space debris caught by Earth's gravitational pull. Their stay is brief as they eventually escape back into space or collide with our planet. Astronomers are working on techniques to detect and study these temporary companions to learn more about our celestial dance with passing objects. And that's just one cool fact about the Earth's natural satellite.")
