A recent study using automatic wildlife cameras across three continents has shed light on how the moon's phases affect the behaviour of tropical forest mammals. Half of the species studied altered their activity levels or timing, or both, in response to the full moon. The findings suggest that even in some of the darkest places on earth - the floors of tropical forests - the moon's phases can in

Teleoperated robots for gathering lunar dust are now closer to reality, thanks to new research from the University of Bristol. Researchers successfully completed a sample collection task using a virtual simulation that transmitted commands to a physical robot, replicating the simulation's actions. The process relied solely on monitoring the simulation, without needing physical camera feeds

NASA is launching a coding competition to get some much-needed help with organizing images from April's solar eclipse for the 2024 Eclipse Megamovie project. "Thanks to the efforts of over 145 citizen scientists, more than 1 terabyte of photographs were collected and are now being analyzed," NASA said. "These images will help scientists track disappearing jets and plumes, shedding light
