Nasa will hold a major event to announce an exciting new discovery about the Moon, it has said.

The space agency did not reveal details about the discovery but said that it contributes to Nasas efforts to learn about the Moon in support of deep space exploration.

It also said that the discovery had come from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or Sofia.
Sofia is a modified Boeing 747 that flies higher than much of the atmosphere, allowing its built-in, 9-foot telescope to get a clear view of our solar system and the broader universe. The plane is able to get up above 99 per cent of the atmospheres water vapour, which normally obscures our view of space.

The telescope instruments at the centre of the flying observatory gather infrared light, meaning it can pick up phenomenon impossible to see with visible light, Nasa noted in its announcement.

While it spends much of its time looking deeper into space, exploring distant planetary systems and the birth and death of faraway stars, it has revealed important information about other objects in our own solar system. In 2016, for instance, it observed atomic oxygen in Marss atmosphere for the first time in 40 years.

Nasas notice of the event made heavy reference to the Artemis programme, which hopes to send the first woman and next man to the Moon in 2024, with the hope of using it as a base to launch missions to Mars from the 2030s. They will be the first people to set foot on the Moon since 1972.

The briefing will be attended by Jacob Bleacher, chief exploration scientist for the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate at Nasas Headquarters, further suggesting that the discovery is at least applicable to the space agencys plans to travel to and live on the Moon.

As well as Dr Bleacher, the event will be attended by Paul Hertz, astrophysics division director at NASA Headquarters; Casey Honniball, postdoctoral fellow at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center; and Naseem Rangwala, project scientist for the SOFIA mission.

The event will take place at noon eastern time, or 5pm in the UK, on Monday, 26 October, Nasa said. Audio will be streamed live on its website.

They found the man on the moon. He's been very lonely and wants a wife but their are no moon women so he's been making moon cheese to occupy himself.

Its artificial. Its a hollow, metal sphere which is crusted in rock. The fact that the moon didnt used to even be in our orbit is suspicious, as well as the effects that its had on our planet and the evolution of life.

When was the last time their "exciting news" was actually exciting? It seems to me they exist in such a bubble that they think the most inane shit is going to get the general jackoff public amped up.

That's pretty big if we're ever going to get off this rock and actually colonize the solar system in the future.
I agree, however, the general public sways funding through their elected officials.

If NASA can't "sell" themselves with cool shit, the public loses interest and funding gets cut as a result.

I say cut the military budget and just increase NASA's budget by 3-4%. I saw somewhere that even a 1% increase would do wonders for them.
If I had my way, i'd throw them all the funding feasible, however you and I are not the one making the budget, it's the army of neanderthals out there who outnumber us 100:1
