NASA wants you to get excited about the moon — or more specifically, about a mysterious new science result the agency plans to unveil on Monday (Oct. 26).
At 1:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT) ET, a live briefing will take place on NASA TV (CX) with agency scientists John Grunsfeld, Grissel Vinther and Damon Matthews, and others — all from the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The important finding debuts Monday at the Southwest Research Center.
Grunsfeld supervised the U.S. Apollo(s)(s) program, the shuttle program and NASA's landing and retrieval landers, all of which are interested in the moon's mineralogy — the chemical compositions and melting points of rocks.
Matthews is senior director for science operations at NASA and is the lead scientist on a whole suite of Earth-moon astronomy missions, including planetary defense. In April, he resigned from the advisory council of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston over influential members who were involved in funding anti-moon research.
"I'm glad I could do the moon and engage places I cared about to remain in that role, [and to] take care of the Zoola and home of the astronauts who have sacrificed so much to get us there," Matthews told SPACE.com on Oct. 5.
"Now that I'm out of the council, I'll be on my own. And I can no longer lend any support to what I believe were bad science takes on our future," he said.
After Grunsfeld and Vinther read a statement, future attorneys or judges of Mars lawsuits will be able to identify the new joke on Mars and understand that Mars has mysteriously become 10 times more interesting since the first visit.
"It will not shine as bright as it would if the moon were a golden orb," Grunsfeld said of the lunar results. "Furthermore, there is much more platinum than gold here, and the moon is high in the clouds. It won't always look like the starry aspect to the lunar surface."
Among Brown University astronomers, Matthews has been somewhat marginalized, which NASA repays with the fact that they have already funded two missions that stick Matthews's name in the headlines, especially "Chasing Water for Life on Earth, Dish"? A-boat? Send Stewie?
Since Grunsfeld, Vinther, Matthews and others are at the bar even though the party has gone on for June, I'm not sure there'll be much boozing going on. The moon headline could intimidate attendees on late-night news broadcasts who
