Researchers studying a newly formed crater on the Moon have found that an impact's effects extend far beyond the crater itself. By measuring nighttime surface temperatures, they detected changes in the lunar regolith that ordinary images do not always reveal, suggesting impacts disturb a much wider area of the surface than previously assumed. The findings were discussed by SETI Institute researcher Dr. Tyler M. Powell.
- 2SETI scientists discuss lunar science and alien technology search on radio●🌙 What can the Moon tell us about its past — and perhaps even about technology beyond Earth? Dr. Tyler Powell and SETI I
Dr. Tyler Powell and SETI Institute researcher Dr. Sofia Sheikh appeared on Science Friday to discuss what the Moon reveals about its own history and the search for technology beyond Earth. Their conversation covered a newly discovered lunar impact crater and the hunt for microscopic technosignatures, linking planetary science with the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
