IS THE MOON RUSTING??

Blog#309

Wednesday, June 28th, 2023

Welcome back,

While our Moon is airless, research indicates the presence of hematite, a form of rust that normally requires oxygen and water. That has scientists puzzled.

Mars has long been known for its rust. Iron on its surface, combined with water and oxygen from the ancient past, give the Red Planet its hue. But scientists were recently surprised to find evidence that our airless Moon has rust on it as well.

A new paper in Science Advances reviews data from the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 orbiter, which discovered water ice and mapped out a variety of minerals while surveying the Moon's surface in 2008. Lead author Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii has studied that water extensively in data from Chandrayaan-1's Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument, or M3, which was built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Water interacts with rock to produce a diversity of minerals, and M3 detected spectra - or light reflected off surfaces - that revealed the Moon's poles had a very different composition than the rest of it.

Intrigued, Li homed in on these polar spectra. While the Moon's surface is littered with iron-rich rocks, he nevertheless was surprised to find a close match with the spectral signature of hematite. The mineral is a form of iron oxide, or rust, produced when iron is exposed to oxygen and water. But the Moon isn't supposed to have oxygen or liquid water, so how can it be rusting?

The mystery starts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles that flows out from the Sun, bombarding Earth and the Moon with hydrogen.

Hydrogen makes it harder for hematite to form. It's what is known as a reducer, meaning it adds electrons to the materials it interacts with. That's the opposite of what is needed to make hematite: For iron to rust, it requires an oxidizer, which removes electrons. And while the Earth has a magnetic field shielding it from this hydrogen, the Moon does not.

"It's very puzzling," Li said. "The Moon is a terrible environment for hematite to form in." So he turned to JPL scientists Abigail Fraeman and Vivian Sun to help poke at M3's data and confirm his discovery of hematite.

"At first, I totally didn't believe it. It shouldn't exist based on the conditions present on the Moon," Fraeman said. "But since we discovered water on the Moon, people have been speculating that there could be a greater variety of minerals than we realize if that water had reacted with rocks."

After taking a close look, Fraeman and Sun became convinced M3's data does indeed indicate the presence of hematite at the lunar poles. "In the end, the spectra were convincingly hematite-bearing, and there needed to be an explanation for why it's on the Moon," Sun said.

Their paper offers a three-pronged model to explain how rust might form in such an environment. For starters, while the Moon lacks an atmosphere, it is in fact home to trace amounts of oxygen. The source of that oxygen: our planet.

Earth's magnetic field trails behind the planet like a windsock. In 2007, Japan's Kaguya orbiter discovered that oxygen from Earth's upper atmosphere can hitch a ride on this trailing magnetotail, as it's officially known, traveling the 239,000 miles (385,00 kilometers) to the Moon.

That discovery fits with data from M3, which found more hematite on the Moon's Earth-facing near side than on its far side. "This suggested that Earth's oxygen could be driving the formation of hematite," Li said. The Moon has been inching away from Earth for billions of years, so it's also possible that more oxygen hopped across this rift when the two were closer in the ancient past.

Then there's the matter of all that hydrogen being delivered by the solar wind. As a reducer, hydrogen should prevent oxidation from occurring.

But Earth's magnetotail has a mediating effect. Besides ferrying oxygen to the Moon from our home planet, it also blocks over 99% of the solar wind during certain periods of the Moon's orbit (specifically, whenever it's in the full Moon phase). That opens occasional windows during the lunar cycle when rust can form.

Only days after a simular Russian mission failed crashing into the lunar surface, India became only the 4th country in history to land on the moon and the first to land on the South Pole. On August 23, 2023, the ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) landed the Chandrayaan 3 (Chandrayaan is translated from moon vehichle in Hindi Sanskrit) on the moon to perform experiments on the little known and rough terrained area. (Space Exploration, Real Life Event)

[blightowlsreblogblog]

India has landed on the Moon!!! The landing is part of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s historic Chandrayaan-3 mission.

"'We have achieved soft landing on the moon,'" said ISRO Chairman Shri Somanath. 'Yes, on the moon!'"

"[Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi] then addressed the ISRO team, speaking in Hindi but adding in English, 'India is now on the moon!'

'The success belongs to all of humanity,' he said. 'And it will help moon missions by other countries in the future. I'm confident that all countries in the world ... can all aspire for the moon and beyond. ... The sky is not the limit!'"

The remote operated lander named Vikram touched down in the south pole region at 6:02pm IST on August 23, 2023. Vikram carried a small but mighty companion, the lunar rover Pragyan (Sanskrit, "wisdom").

Vikram is named after Vikram Sarabhai, PhD, physicist, astronomer, and a major figure in the development of India's space and nuclear programs. Sarabhai served as the first chairman of the ISRO, as well as the driving force behind the organization's creation. Recognizing the need for more coordinated space research in India, Sarabhai urged the Indian government to create INCOSPAR - the committee that eventually formed the ISRO in 1969.

Chandrayaan-3: India's Historic Soft Landing on the Moon

Introduction On August 23, 2023, India made history by successfully landing the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the Moon’s South Pole. This was India’s third lunar mission, and its first soft landing since Chandrayaan-2 in 2019. The successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a major achievement for the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and a significant step forward for India’s space…

[playwords]

The ongoing most talk-of-the-town project that India has been successful in accomplishing is the launch of Chandrayaan-III on the 14th of July,2023. The Indian Space Research Organization has been working tirelessly round the clock for the third attempt of the landing of a satellite on the moon. The second one, most unfortunately, though have made a successful landing on the lunar body was not able to send any useful data our way because of damage due to landing impact. This is the reason why India attempts to make a soft landing, making it the fourth country after USA, China and the former Soviet Union to be able to do so, if successful. The satellite is aboard the heavy-lift LVM3-M4 rocket and took off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra's Sriharikota. Thousands of cheering citizens gathered to watch this historic milestone in India's space research and millions more tuned in live from television. The journey from Earth to moon is estimated of about a month with the landing date expected on August 23. Technicalities, however might postpone or prepone the landing. The satellite is designed to operate for a single lunar day, which is 14 Earth days thus giving ISRO Bengaluru scientists ample time to study the surface of this remarkable lunar body. The satellite is equipped with a lander, rover and a propulsion module and has an impressive weight of 3900 kilograms. Spanning a distance of 300,000 kilometers, it is said to reach the moon in the coming weeks.

India's space research has been highly significant in the past years with the mission to Mars raising our reputation in the world of planets for all eternity. Being the first nation to reach Mars in the very first attempt with a limited budget and continual criticism in tow, we have long earned our respect in the field. The might of the country and its citizens stands behind ISRO's attempt to take us even further in line and wish it all the very best for a successful landing on the moon.

India excels at International Newspaper Design Competition Awards

The 6th International Newspaper Design Competition awards were recently announced by Asia's newspaper design website newspaperdesign.in. From India, Hindustan Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, Deccan Herald and Malayala Manorama bagged the top honors in different categories.

Indian Printer & Publisher interacted with Anup Gupta of Hindustan Times, Kannan Sundar from The Hindu and Bivash Barua from The Indian Express to learn more about the competition, elements of a good newspaper design, its relevance in the digital age, challenges in newspaper designing and more. We are publishing this article in two parts. The first part will discuss the award-winning design and the importance of design in a newspaper. Part two will discuss the chart the road ahead for newspaper design, and the challenges in getting younger readers on board.

HT's best of four

Hindustan Times won in four categories – Best of Show spread for Disappearing Acts; Awards of Excellence spread for Kingsmen: the Golden Circle and Sachin@50; and Awards of Excellence in the Infographic category for the Asian Games 2023 spread.

Disappearing Acts was designed by a team comprising Puneet Verma, Monica Gupta, Mohit Suneja, and Anesha George. The jury described the design as “Such a clever way to illustrate an absence (always the most difficult visual) – extinctions of animals discovered after they already are gone.”

Kingsmen, which focuses on Indian chess grandmaster Vishanathan Anand, was designed by a team comprising Puneet Verma, Monica Gupta, Malay Karmakar, and Susan Ninan. “Great balance of illustration and photography combining to tell a complex story about a panel of subjects in an attractive, approachable way,” said the jury about the design. 

“Compelling illustration style with strong art direction across a vast double truck helps the reader through a comprehensive tale told visually, with breakouts, and long-form narrative,” the jury shared about the design for Sachin@50 – a combined effort of Malay Karmakar, Monica Gupta, Puneet Verma, and Ashish Magotra.

According to Anup Gupta, managing editor, Hindustan Times, the Asian Games 2023 infographic “presented India’s medals tally over the years, contrasting it with other Asian countries, especially China.” The design was a combined effort of Prijit Sasidharan, Puneet Verma, Partho Sheel, Mohit Suneja, and Shantanu Srivastava.

The Hindu's sports show

The Hindu won the Best of Show award; Gold in the Best of Sports Page category; and an Award of Excellence in the Best of Double Spread category for its illustration for ‘The science behind Neeraj’s skills.’ The story was written by Jonathan Selvaraj, with science explained by Vasudevan Mukunth, data research by Vignesh Radhakrishnan and illustration and design by Kannan Sundar.

Suresh Nambath, editor, The Hindu, said, “The recognition is a result of the combined effort of our design and editorial teams. We ensured that the designing team took full advantage of the space available in the double spread to produce a captivating visual for the traditional medium.”

The Indian Express – parliament

The Indian Express won the Best of Show in the Infographic category for its infographic titled 'The Parliament of India', which explored both the historic and the new parliament buildings. The design for the infographic was by Bivash Barua with illustrations by Suvajit Dey and text by Chakshu Roy, Damini Nath and Divya A.

“This award is a testament to the successful collaboration between our writing, editing, and design teams. We aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of both structures. To achieve this, we used a bold illustration of the old parliament building as the centerpiece. Its circular shape provided a perfect canvas to organize the infographic's elements around it. Additionally, the layout incorporated the principles of the golden ratio for a visually balanced composition,” said Bivash Barua, national design editor, The Indian Express.

Malayala Manorama and Deccan Herald

Malayala Manorama and Deccan Herald also received recognition in the Best of Double Spread category. One design from Malayala Manorama narrated the journey of Abhilash Tomy, who circumnavigated the earth, and other travelers. The second one titled 'Dance Moves' was about the Naatu Naatu song from the film RRR and other Oscar nominations from India.

Deccan Herald's double spread headlined 'Sports washing negative image', which bagged the Award of Excellence, was described as “a refreshing approach to the significance of the World Cup storylines with a fresh illustration style, with lots of great details and clever touches woven throughout.”

Design and storytelling

So what is the relevance of design in storytelling? How does it help hook a reader to a particular article, piece of information, or simply a complex topic?

Design plays a pivotal role in storytelling. It serves as a vital component, enriching narratives and captivating audiences on various levels, explained Kannan Sundar, national design editor, The Hindu. “Design empowers storytellers to weave compelling tales that resonate deeply with their readers, stirring emotions and leaving a lasting impact. One of the key functions of design is setting a story's tone and atmosphere. Elements such as color palette, typography, and imagery work harmoniously to establish the mood and evoke the desired emotions in the audience,” Kannan Sundar said.

Design is for storytelling what music is for a song, says Anup Gupta. He said just as music enhances a song and infuses life in it, making it memorable, design gives a story a unique identity, which is akin to a fingerprint. Which is why design for storytelling is not just relevant but is a must, he said.

Great design transcends aesthetics, Barua said, adding it acts as a powerful, unspoken language that complements the written or spoken word. By strategically using visuals, color, and layout, design can evoke emotions, deepen reader connection, and guide them through the narrative, he said. Infographics and well-placed images can clarify complex ideas, while strong visuals leave a lasting impression, staying with readers long after they have finished the story.

“This is evident in publications where design plays a crucial role. A visually engaging layout can make reading more pleasurable and memorable. Consider the powerful statement made by The Indian Express' blank editorial during the Emergency, the Wall Street Journal's recent blank front page dedicated to a journalist's imprisonment or the Donald Trump lies page by the New York Times. These stark design choices speak volumes, leaving a lasting impact on viewers,” Barua said.

Emotionally resonant storytelling is another hallmark of effective design, Sundar said, adding that by employing visual elements that resonate with the audience's feelings and experiences, design has the power to evoke profound emotional responses, forging deeper connections between the story and its readers.

“Furthermore, in the realm of branding and marketing storytelling, design serves as a cornerstone in shaping brand identity. Through the consistent use of brand colors, logos, and visual elements, design reinforces a brand's values and messaging, fostering a strong narrative that resonates with readers and enhances brand recognition. In essence, design is not merely a superficial embellishment but an integral component of storytelling, imbuing narratives with depth, emotion, and resonance. As design editors, we are committed to harnessing the power of design to craft immersive and impactful stories that captivate and inspire our readers, Sundar added.

In essence, design is a tool that storytellers can leverage to create a more impactful and immersive experience, Barua echoed. “Just as good design drives successful products, a well-designed story is more engaging. Both rely on the power of visual communication to connect with the audience on a deeper level.”

A captivating newspaper design

Several elements contribute to a captivating newspaper design – layout, typography, color, photographs, and adaptability among other things.

Layout

According to Sundar, layout is paramount for a good newspaper design. A “well-organized layout guides readers seamlessly through the content, with clear section divisions, consistent column widths, and a balanced distribution of text and images ensuring a logical flow.”

A well-designed layout is your GPS, Barua says. Following a style sheet and basic grid structure makes the paper look smart and consistent. Negative space should be embraced for a sense of order.

Typography

Typography is another crucial consideration, Sundar explains. Choosing appropriate fonts for headlines, subheadings, body text, and captions is essential for legibility and maintaining uniformity throughout the publication, he says, adding white space is often overlooked but vital as it prevents visual clutter and allows content to breathe, thereby enhancing readability and facilitating easy navigation.

Establishing a clear hierarchy of information is imperative, Sundar says. Through the effective use of headlines, subheadings, and varying font sizes, readers can quickly identify important stories and navigate through the content with ease.

“Clear, easy-to-read fonts in comfortable sizes with high contrast between text and background are essential,” said Barua, adding that consistent alignment, margins, and spacing make all the difference in a professional and polished look.

Color

Color adds vibrancy and visual interest, but it must be used judiciously to avoid detracting from readability. Thoughtful use of color can also help differentiate sections or highlight key information, Sundar said.

Photographs

Photos and graphics should be used strategically to explain complex stories, according to Barua.

Adaptability

Adaptability is crucial in the digital age, said Sundar, adding that a good newspaper design must consider how the layout will translate to online formats, such as responsive web design for mobile devices or tablets, ensuring a seamless reading experience across various platforms.

In today’s day and age when the same newspaper is available in printed and digital forms, on different platforms, significantly influencing its consumption, identifying ‘elements that contribute to a good newspaper design’ is varied, Gupta says. “If ‘to design’ means finding a creative solution for a problem, then any creative solution that solves a problem, and facilitates the consumption of the content, should be considered a ‘good design’ contribution,” he says.

IS THE MOON RUSTING??

Blog#341

Wednesday, October 18th, 2023

Welcome back,

While our Moon is airless, research indicates the presence of hematite, a form of rust that normally requires oxygen and water. That has scientists puzzled.

Mars has long been known for its rust. Iron on its surface, combined with water and oxygen from the ancient past, give the Red Planet its hue. But scientists were recently surprised to find evidence that our airless Moon has rust on it as well.

A new paper in Science Advances reviews data from the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 orbiter, which discovered water ice and mapped out a variety of minerals while surveying the Moon's surface in 2008. Lead author Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii has studied that water extensively in data from Chandrayaan-1's Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument, or M3, which was built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Water interacts with rock to produce a diversity of minerals, and M3 detected spectra - or light reflected off surfaces - that revealed the Moon's poles had a very different composition than the rest of it.

Intrigued, Li homed in on these polar spectra. While the Moon's surface is littered with iron-rich rocks, he nevertheless was surprised to find a close match with the spectral signature of hematite. The mineral is a form of iron oxide, or rust, produced when iron is exposed to oxygen and water. But the Moon isn't supposed to have oxygen or liquid water, so how can it be rusting?

The mystery starts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles that flows out from the Sun, bombarding Earth and the Moon with hydrogen. Hydrogen makes it harder for hematite to form. It's what is known as a reducer, meaning it adds electrons to the materials it interacts with. That's the opposite of what is needed to make hematite: For iron to rust, it requires an oxidizer, which removes electrons. And while the Earth has a magnetic field shielding it from this hydrogen, the Moon does not.

"It's very puzzling," Li said. "The Moon is a terrible environment for hematite to form in." So he turned to JPL scientists Abigail Fraeman and Vivian Sun to help poke at M3's data and confirm his discovery of hematite.

"At first, I totally didn't believe it. It shouldn't exist based on the conditions present on the Moon," Fraeman said. "But since we discovered water on the Moon, people have been speculating that there could be a greater variety of minerals than we realize if that water had reacted with rocks."

After taking a close look, Fraeman and Sun became convinced M3's data does indeed indicate the presence of hematite at the lunar poles. "In the end, the spectra were convincingly hematite-bearing, and there needed to be an explanation for why it's on the Moon," Sun said.

Their paper offers a three-pronged model to explain how rust might form in such an environment. For starters, while the Moon lacks an atmosphere, it is in fact home to trace amounts of oxygen.

The source of that oxygen: our planet. Earth's magnetic field trails behind the planet like a windsock. In 2007, Japan's Kaguya orbiter discovered that oxygen from Earth's upper atmosphere can hitch a ride on this trailing magnetotail, as it's officially known, traveling the 239,000 miles (385,00 kilometers) to the Moon.

That discovery fits with data from M3, which found more hematite on the Moon's Earth-facing near side than on its far side. "This suggested that Earth's oxygen could be driving the formation of hematite," Li said. The Moon has been inching away from Earth for billions of years, so it's also possible that more oxygen hopped across this rift when the two were closer in the ancient past.

Then there's the matter of all that hydrogen being delivered by the solar wind. As a reducer, hydrogen should prevent oxidation from occurring. But Earth's magnetotail has a mediating effect. Besides ferrying oxygen to the Moon from our home planet, it also blocks over 99% of the solar wind during certain periods of the Moon's orbit (specifically, whenever it's in the full Moon phase). That opens occasional windows during the lunar cycle when rust can form.

Indian Space Research Organization Invites Applications For Library Assistant'A' Recruitment

[spacenutspod]

5 min read Laser Instrument on NASA’s LRO Successfully ‘Pings’ Indian Moon Lander For the first time at the Moon, a laser beam was transmitted and reflected between an orbiting NASA spacecraft and an Oreo-sized device on ISRO’s (Indian Space Research Organisation) Vikram lander on the lunar surface. The successful experiment opens the door to a new style of precisely locating targets on the Moon’s surface. At 3 p.m. EST on Dec. 12, 2023, NASA’s LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) pointed its laser altimeter instrument toward Vikram. The lander was 62 miles, or 100 kilometers, away from LRO, near Manzinus crater in the Moon’s South Pole region, when LRO transmitted laser pulses toward it. After the orbiter registered light that had bounced back from a tiny NASA retroreflector aboard Vikram, NASA scientists knew their technique had finally worked. ISRO’s (Indian Space Research Organization) Vikram lander, with a NASA retroreflector on it, touched down on the Moon on Aug. 23, 2023. The camera aboard NASA’s LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) took this picture four days later. The lander is in the center of the image, its dark shadow visible against the bright halo around it. The halo formed after rocket plume interacted with the fine-grained regolith (similar to soil) on the Moon’s surface. The image shows an area that’s 1 mile, or 1.7 kilometers, wide. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/Arizona State University Sending laser pulses toward an object and measuring how long it takes the light to bounce back is a commonly used way to track the locations of Earth-orbiting satellites from the ground. But using the technique in reverse – to send laser pulses from a moving spacecraft to a stationary one to determine its precise location – has many applications at the Moon, scientists say. “We’ve showed that we can locate our retroreflector on the surface from the Moon’s orbit,” said Xiaoli Sun, who led the team at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, that developed the retroreflector on Vikram as part of a partnership between NASA and ISRO. “The next step is to improve the technique so that it can become routine for missions that want to use these retroreflectors in the future.” Only 2 inches, or 5 centimeters, wide, NASA’s tiny but mighty retroreflector, called a Laser Retroreflector Array, has eight quartz-corner-cube prisms set into a dome-shaped aluminum frame. The device is simple and durable, scientists say, requiring neither power nor maintenance, and can last for decades. Its configuration allows the retroreflector to reflect light coming in from any direction back to its source. Only 2 inches, or 5 centimeters, wide, NASA’s Laser Retroreflector Array has eight quartz-corner-cube prisms set into a dome-shaped aluminum frame. This configuration allows the device to reflect light coming in from any direction back to its source. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Retroreflectors can be used for many applications in science and exploration and, indeed, have been in use at the Moon since the Apollo era. By reflecting light back to Earth, the suitcase-size retroreflectors revealed that the Moon is moving away from our planet at a rate of 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) per year. This new generation of tiny retroreflectors has even more applications than their larger predecessors. On the International Space Station, they’re used as precision markers that help cargo-delivery spacecraft dock autonomously. In the future, they could guide Artemis astronauts to the surface in the dark, for example, or mark the locations of spacecraft already on the surface, helping astronauts or uncrewed spacecraft land next to them. But there’s more work to do before retroreflectors can light up the Moon. The biggest hurdle to their immediate adoption is that LRO’s altimeter, which has operated for 13 years beyond its primary mission, is the only laser instrument orbiting the Moon for now. But the instrument wasn’t designed to pinpoint a target; since 2009, the altimeter – called LOLA – has been responsible for mapping the Moon’s topography to prepare for missions to the surface. “We would like LOLA to point to this Oreo-sized target and hit it every time, which is hard,” said Daniel Cremons, a NASA Goddard scientist who works with Sun. It took the altimeter eight tries to contact Vikram’s retroreflector. LOLA works by dispatching five laser beams toward the Moon and measuring how long it takes each one to bounce back (the quicker the light returns, the less distance between LOLA and the surface, and thus the higher the elevation in that area). Each laser beam covers an area 32 feet, or 10 meters, wide, from a 62-mile, or 100-kilometer, altitude. Because there are large gaps between the beams, there is only a small chance that the laser pulse can contact a retroreflector during each pass of the lunar orbiter over the lander. Altimeters are great for detecting craters, rocks, and boulders to create global elevation maps of the Moon. But they aren’t ideal for pointing to within one-hundredth of a degree of a retroreflector, which is what’s required to consistently achieve a ping. A future laser that slowly and continuously rakes the surface without any gaps in coverage would help tiny retroreflectors meet their potential. For now, the team behind NASA’s miniature retroreflectors will continue to use LRO’s laser altimeter to help refine the position of targets on the surface, especially landers. Several NASA retroreflectors are slated to fly aboard public and private Moon landers, including one on JAXA’s (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) SLIM lander, due to land on the Moon on Jan. 19, 2024, and one built by Intuitive Machines, a private company scheduled to launch its spacecraft to the Moon in mid-February. Intuitive Machines will carry six NASA payloads, including the retroreflector, under NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative.
