NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The full moon impacting your sleep cycle may sound like an old myth, but new research from The University of Washington indicates that the moon may have more influence than expected.
The changes in the study’s participants’ sleep patterns in both rural Argentinian communities and highly urbanized areas of Seattle were remarkably similar. According to de la Iglesia, the data shows that participants went to bed later and slept less in the days before the full moon.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Alan Shepard, the moon club and first golf swing on the moon
Apollo 14, Shepard’s second space flight as commander, was planned for Jan. 31 to Feb. 9, 1971. Two years after humans first landed on the moon, Shepard wouldn’t be the first astronaut in space or the first person to walk on the moon on this trip, but he secretly planned to create a first of his own 238,900 miles from home.
USGA senior historian Victoria Nenno recounts the idea came to Shepard as he was determining the best way to demonstrate to non-scientists the differences between the atmospheres on Earth and the moon. One previous idea to demonstrate the differences in atmospheres was dropping a rock and feather in space and noticing how they reacted on release, but Shepard wanted a more relatable, visual aid to demonstrate the differences.
Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon breaks down Brady-Mahomes matchup, offers Super Bowl LV prediction |
TAMPA, Fla. (WNCN) – Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon called on his expertise to break down the Super Bowl LV matchup that pits future Hall of Famer Tom Brady against reigning champion and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes.
Brady is a six-time Super Bowl winner and four-time MVP in his own right. His first year with the Bucs after a 20-year tenure in New England will culminate with Brady playing in his 10th championship game.
“Just being there is an accomplishment in the National Football League,” Moon said of Brady taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl nine times in 20 seasons. “Now the question was, was it because he was in New England did he go to all those Super Bowls? Or was it because of how great of a player he is?”
This Real-Time Video Around the Moon Is Deeply Relaxing - Nerdist
The Japanese lunar orbiter, SELENE (Selenological and Engineering Explorer), captured this video back during its tenure scouting the Moon from 2007 to 2009. SELENE was in orbit for nearly two years, which means—somewhere out there—there’s enough of this zen footage to last you for that amount of time.
The Moon. For REAL.

This Insane Picture of The Moon Was Actually Taken From Earth
A test of a powerful new space imaging instrument has given us a gloriously detailed new perspective of the Apollo 15 Moon landing site.
By bouncing a powerful radar signal off the lunar surface, the new instrument has been able to achieve spectacular resolution, showing objects as small as 5 metres (16.4 feet).
Designed for the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia by Raytheon Intelligence & Space, this proof-of-concept technology paves the way for even more powerful radar imaging in the future, potentially allowing scientists to study objects even as far away as Neptune.
6 Storm Team Starwatch: Last Quarter Moon and several bright stars visible this week | WATE 6 On
Welcome to the 71st edition of 6 Storm Team Starwatch! This is a blog that will be posted every week that will list events happening in the sky!
Tonight is the Last Quarter Moon (Sky & Telescope). Remember, a Last Quarter Moon looks like a half moon.
The next few mornings if you look to the South-Southeast before sunrise you will be able to see the waning crescent Moon as well as the constellation Scorpius (Sky & Telescope). You will also be able to see the bright star Antares (Sky & Telescope). The image below shows what to look for in the sky:
New research paper explains how the moon's water cycle might work
Even though Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin described the dry, barren regolith of the Moon as "magnificent desolation," it turns out that our lone satellite actually has an abundance of lunar water locked away in its soils and rocks, especially at its lightless polar caps.
Our Moon's two poles have permanently dark territories where spacecraft and probes have detected vast amounts of water ice that Moon-bound astronauts might be able to tap into for water, air, and cheap rocket fuel. H2O is also deep inside the dusty lunar soil as well.
Rolla students win NASA award to develop methods of dealing with moon dust | FOX 2
Now students from the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla will have the opportunity to solve the problem of lunar dust in preparation for building sustainable human exploration on the moon.
“This is pretty cool,” said Jeremiah Rittenhouse graduate student from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. “It’s really common for NASA to put out a request for a proposal and most of the time we send a proposal and it doesn’t go through”.
