The appearance of a single green leaf hinted at a future in which astronauts would grow their own food in space, potentially setting up residence at outposts on the moon or other planets. Now, barely after it had sprouted, the cotton plant onboard Chinas lunar rover has died. The plant relied on sunlight at the moons surface, but as night arrived at the lunar far side and temperatures plunged as low as -170C, its short life came to an end. Freebie Link

Astronomers have revealed details of mysterious signals emanating from a distant galaxy, picked up by a telescope in Canada. The precise nature and origin of the blasts of radio waves is unknown. Among the 13 fast radio bursts, known as FRBs, was a very unusual repeating signal, coming from the same source about 1.5 billion light years away. Freebie Link

Three new planets and six supernovae outside our solar system have been observed by Nasas planet-hunting Tess mission in its first three months. Since it started surveying the sky in July, the MIT-led Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite project has identified Pi Mensae b, a super-Earth that travels around its star every six days, and LHS 3844b, a rocky world with an orbit of only 11 hours.

A Chinese spacecraft could become the first ever to land on the far side of the moon tomorrow, in a milestone for human space exploration. The China National Space Administration (CNSA) is aiming to land the craft in the unexplored South Pole-Aitken basin, the largest, oldest, deepest, crater on the moons surface. The robotic probe, Change 4, entered an elliptical path around the moon last weekend, drawing as close as 15km (9 miles) from the surface. Chinas mission control has not confirmed a time for the touchdown attempt but reports in state-run media suggested it would be early Thursday morning UK time. Freebie Link

In the early morning of Dec. 21, 1968, at Kennedy Space Centers (KSC) Launch Pad 39A, the five engines of the Saturn Vs first stage came to life precisely on time at 7:51 AM EST, powering up to their full 7.5 million pounds of thrust. The brilliance of the flame was like a second sunrise. At the top of the 6.5-million pound rocket, Apollo 8 astronauts Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, and William A. Anders were strapped inside their Command Module (CM), the first humans to fir...st-hand experience a Saturn V launch. After 2.5 minutes, the first stage had exhausted its fuel, burning it at the rate of 13 tons every second, and had carried the vehicle to an altitude of 40 miles. The second stage took over, burning for more than six minutes before it too fell away. The third stage, called the S-IVB, finished placing Apollo 8 into Earth orbit 11 and a half minutes after liftoff.

The stunning Korolev crater in the northern lowlands of Mars is filled with ice all year round owing to a trapped layer of cold Martian air that keeps the water frozen. The 50-mile-wide crater contains 530 cubic miles of water ice, as much as Great Bear Lake in northern Canada, and in the centre of the crater the ice is more than a mile thick. Freebie Link

NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) lander, which touched down on Mars just 10 days ago, has provided the first ever "sounds" of Martian winds on the Red Planet. A media teleconference about these sounds will be held today at 12:30 p.m. EST (9:30 a.m. PST). InSight sensors captured a haunting low rumble caused by vibrations from the wind, estimated to be blowing between 10 to 15 mph (5 to 7 meters a second) on Dec. 1, from northwest to southeast. The winds were consistent with the direction of dust devil streaks in the landing area, which were observed from orbit. Freebie Link

The lander came to a rest on the dusty surface shortly before 8pm GMT on Monday after a nail-biting descent that started when the spacecraft slammed into the Martian atmosphere at 12,300mph and ended minutes later with the probe settled on the ground, its thrusters quiet.

NASA has chosen Jezero Crater as the landing site for its upcoming Mars 2020 rover mission after a five year search, during which every available detail of more than 60 candidate locations on the Red Planet was scrutinized and debated by the mission team and the planetary science community. The rover mission is scheduled to launch in July 2020 as NASAs next step in exploration of the Red Planet. It will not only seek signs of ancient habitable conditions and past microbial life -- but the rover also will collect rock and soil samples and store them in a cache on the planet's surface. NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) are studying future mission concepts to retrieve the samples and return them to Earth, so this landing site sets the stage for the next decade of Mars exploration.

The cosmic weather forecast calls for strong dark matter winds in our region of the Galaxy. The prediction is based on a new study of a nearby collection of stars that are all moving in the same direction. This so-called S1 stream is believed to be the remnant of a dwarf galaxy that was swallowed by the Milky Way billions of years ago. The dark matter from this long-gone galaxy may be blowing past us at roughly 500 km/s, according to the studys authors. Such a dark matter hurricane might leave a detectable imprint in data from dark matter searches. Freebie Link

Two vastly different NASA spacecraft are about to run out of fuel The Kepler spacecraft, which spent nine years in deep space collecting data that detected thousands of planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, and the Dawn spacecraft, which spent 11 years orbiting and studying the main asteroid belt's two largest objects, Vesta and Ceres. However, the two record-setting missions have more in common than their coincidentally low fuel levels. Both missions gathered data that broke new scientific ground, searching for answers inside and outside our solar system. Freebie Link

After briefly going into safe mode last week, NASAs Chandra X-ray Observatory which observes galaxies and nebulas from Earths orbit should be getting back to normal operations soon. The cause of the disruption was a small glitch in one of the spacecrafts instruments used for steering and pointing. But the space agency has since fixed the problem, and the telescope will be back to observing the Universe by the end of the week. Freebie Link

Astronomers believe they have discovered the first known moon beyond our solar system, in orbit around a gigantic planet 8,000 light years away. The so-called exomoon, which is estimated to be the size of Neptune, would also be the biggest known moon, far exceeding anything known to exist in our own solar system. The team behind the apparent discovery said it needed further confirmation but that they had failed to find any other convincing explanation for their data. Freebie Link

An extremely distant dwarf planet, named The Goblin, has been discovered in observations that are redefining the outer reaches of the solar system. Astronomers made the discovery while hunting for a hypothetical massive planet, known as Planet Nine, that is suspected to be in orbit far beyond Pluto in a mysterious region known as the Oort Cloud. Planet Nine has not yet been seen directly, but The Goblin appears to be under the gravitational influence of a giant unseen object, adding to astronomers certainty that it is out there. Freebie Link

But the particles physicists know about the collection of particles that make up what scientists call the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics shouldn't be able to do that. Freebie Link

NASA has ventured every which way across the solar system, but a change of direction closer to home could be its most audacious move since the moon landings. In the next decade, a typical mission could go something like this NASA astronauts board a SpaceX Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) along with commercial astronauts and a few wealthy tourists. The rocket stops at the new space hotel circling the globe to drop off the visitors and the NASA astronauts spend a few hours there filming an advertisement and lending their endorsement to the privately owned "microgravity resort."

Over the past few days, engineers here at JPL have been working to address an issue on Curiosity that is preventing it from sending much of the science and engineering data stored in its memory, the Curiosity team explains. The rover remains in its normal mode and is otherwise healthy and responsive. The rover isnt totally silent, however, and is still relaying certain status information, just not the science data it has stored locally. This strange set of circumstances is leaving Curiositys engineers scratching their heads. Freebie Link
