Some of the moon's craters may contain "double-shadowed" regions that are so dark they would be among the coldest places in the solar system.
The small tilt of the moon – just 1.5 degrees – as it orbits with Earth around the sun means that it has hundreds of craters where direct sunlight never reaches.

Meteorites that form the earth may have formed in the outer solar system - Tech Explorist
Our solar system is believed to formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud, which orbited the center of our galaxy, mainly was hydrogen with some helium and traces of heavier elements forged by prior stars.
Our solar system inherited its chemical composition from an ancient star or stars that exploded as supernovae. The volatile compositions of asteroids can also be found in the solar system. Such small bodies record the Solar System’s history and how planets formed.
What's left after net metering solar bill is passed - South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Consumers who have been considering installing a rooftop solar system now have a reason to make a decision.
A legislative bill reducing buy-back rates that investor-owned utilities must pay for solar power sent back to the grid now awaits the governor's signature.
NASA Funds Research into Using the Solar Oberth Maneuver to Explore Deep Space – Parabolic Arc
NASA is funding research into advanced technology that would allow spacecraft to combine its propulsion system and the sun’s gravity to reach the distant Kuiper Belt or interstellar space in far less time than is possible today.
The space agency awarded a NASA Innovative Advance Concepts (NIAC) Phase I award worth $175,000 to Jason Benkoski of Johns Hopkins University to conduct research into how to successfully conduct a powered flyby of the sun known as the Oberth maneuver.
What a habitable alternative Earth would look like
Scientists think they’ve worked out what an Earth-like planet in our neighboring star system could look like.
An international team of researchers lead by Swiss university ETH Zurich think they now have a good sense of what an Earth-like planet in our neighboring star system would look like.

Look! Up in the sky! Is it a planet?
The first worlds beyond our solar system were discovered three decades ago. Since then, close to 5,000 exoplanets have been confirmed in our galaxy. Astronomers have detected another 5,000 planetary candidates — objects that might be planets but have yet to be confirmed.
In a study appearing today in the Astronomical Journal , MIT astronomers report that three, and potentially four, planets that were originally discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope are in fact misclassified. Instead, these suspected planets are likely small stars.
Investing in solar reduces commercial building costs - La Jolla Light
Upgrading a commercial building with a rooftop solar energy system can reduce energy costs and increase a property's value, offering an excellent Return on Investment.
A rise in a property's net operating income generally is seen within a year of installing a solar panel system.
