Glowing Salt Crystals Tracked Radiation Aboard Artemis I
Glowing salt crystals reportedly served as a radiation detector during NASA's uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon. The crystals, which glow when exposed to radiation, are said to have recorded radiation levels encountered during the flight, offering a simple, low-cost way to measure the deep-space environment astronauts will face on future Artemis missions.
Why now: Interest in how Artemis I measured deep-space radiation ahead of crewed lunar missions
