When beauty influencer Manny Gutierrez, aka Manny MUA, started his makeup brand Lunar Beauty three years ago, there was no question that it was going to be celestial-themed.
"I knew from the jump that this was the concept I wanted to go with," he said. Gutierrez sports a tattoo on his arm of his family's astrological signs and attributes his happy outlook to the fact that he's an Aries. "I've always loved anything to do with the sky, astrological signs. I wanted to carry that into my brand because it was already very part of me."

Optimal Human Landing System Architectures Identified for Landing on the Moon
Researchers from Skoltech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have analyzed several dozen options to pick the best one in terms of performance and costs for the ‘last mile’ of a future mission to the Moon – actually delivering astronauts to the lunar surface and back up to the safety of the orbiting lunar station. The paper was published in the journal Acta Astronautica .
The team assumed the Lunar Gateway is located in the L2 near rectilinear halo orbit, the currently preferred option that has the station orbiting the L2 Lagrange point in a way that makes it easier to land on the lunar south pole. They also modeled an expedition of four astronauts, who will spend around seven days on the Moon. The scientists considered both the optimal number of stages and the preferred propellants for the system.
Art from Elmira is going to the moon | RochesterFirst
Coordinated by Dr. Samuel Peralta, the Artists on the Moon project is joining NASA’s scientific payloads on Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission One , the first commercial launch in history.
The capsule will contain art from The Peregrine Collection – an assembly of thousands of creative works by over 1,200 artists worldwide.
Included in this capsule will be a magazine from “ Poets and Artists ” with Buchanan’s portrait.
A Moon’s Moon?! | astrobites

Our Solar System is home to over 200 moons (and counting!) yet despite centuries of observations, we have yet to find a moon with a moon of its own. The authors of today's paper investigate what a moon would need in order to host its own moon, or a submoon.
For a moon to stably orbit a planet, or in this case, another moon, it must exist in a delicate region between the planet's Hill sphere and Roche limit . This area can be thought of as similar to a planet's Habitable zone , i.e. a set range of radii in space around a celestial body. The Hill sphere is the area around the host body where the dominant gravitational force on the satellite is from the host body itself, rather than any other extraneous objects.

The 'Red Planet' Confronts A Crescent Moon As Equinox Occurs: What You Can See In The Night Sky
This week begins with a beautiful two-day old Moon in post-sunset skies. Take an evening walk and look west for a slim crescent. However, this week's highlight is the waxing crescent Moon's journey past a famous star cluster, the planet Mars and a red supergiant star.
If you're really lucky tonight you'll be able to glimpse a 6%-lit crescent Moon—just a couple of days after its New Moon phase—low down on the western horizon just after dusk.
What Ever Happened to the Moon’s Magnetosphere? – Now. Powered by Northrop Grumman
The astronauts who brought back moon rocks half a century ago also revealed a lunar mystery that scientists have only recently begun to unravel. Unlike Earth, the moon today does not have a magnetic field, or magnetosphere, surrounding it. But when the rocks brought back by the Apollo astronauts were analyzed, NASA notes that researchers were surprised to find residual traces of magnetism.
The Earth’s magnetic field, which makes a magnetic compass work and produces spectacular aurora displays in high-latitude northern and southern skies, is believed to be produced by heat convection deep in Earth’s molten iron core.
Blue Origin will simulate moon gravity on rocket launches for NASA | Space
Starting in 2022, the company plans to meet a long-standing need to simulate lunar gravity — that would be one-sixth that of Earth's — for larger payloads and for longer periods of time than the current options. Blue Origin will modify its suborbital New Shepard spacecraft to act like a large centrifuge in Earth orbit, gently offering a lunar-like push on the experiments inside the spacecraft.
Experiments requiring moonlike conditions usually require a parabolic flight — which only offers a few seconds of lunar gravity at a time — or a centrifuge, which is limited by size, according to a NASA statement . Blue Origin, however, will use its reaction control system to offer lunar gravity for at least two minutes at a time.
Brown, RISD students helping to keep astronauts safe from moon dust | WPRI.com
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) ─ As NASA prepares to send humans back to the moon in 2024, students at two Rhode Island colleges are helping to make moon-walking safer.
As astronaut Neil Armstrong prepared to take his historic first step onto the moon, he made some observations about the surface.
“The surface appears to be very, very fine-grained … It’s almost like a powder,” Armstrong is heard over radio transmissions.
