martinezlaura+FollowMoon Time Is Literally Different—Wild!Did you know time actually runs faster on the Moon? Like, clocks tick ahead by 56 millionths of a second every day! China just dropped the world’s first lunar timekeeping software, so future astronauts won’t accidentally miss a meeting (or crash a spaceship). As NASA preps for its next Moon landing, syncing Earth and Moon time is officially a thing. Einstein would be proud! #Science #MoonMission #SpaceTech20Share
James Brady+FollowEarth’s Air Is Sneaking Onto the Moon?!Turns out, Earth’s atmosphere is leaking into space—and some of it is ending up on the Moon! Scientists just found out that when the Moon passes through Earth’s magnetic tail, little bits of our air hitch a ride and get stuck in the lunar soil. This could be a game-changer for future astronauts, since they might be able to use these elements instead of hauling everything from Earth. Who knew our air was moon-bound? #Science #SpaceScience #MoonMission10Share
