Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into “cosmic tuning forks.” The reverberations of such ripples in spacetime could reveal the interiors of these extreme stellar remains. Born when massive stars die, neutron stars have up to two times the mass of … Read more
How can a geologic map of a lunar impact crater created billions of years ago help future human and robotic missions to the lunar surface?

Methods that might work well on Earth or even other planets, such as helicopters, might be utterly useless on others. But, … Read more
