NLSI’s SwRI team investigates wandering gas giants and the late heavy bombardment of the Moon
A dramatic event early in the history of the Solar System– called the late heavy bombardment, also nicknamed the lunar cataclysm– may have caused planets to migrate in our solar systemThere may have been a dramatic event early in the history of the Solar System–the intense bombardment of the inner planets and the Moon by planetesimals during a narrow interval between 3.92 and 3.85 billion years ago, called the late heavy bombardment, but also nicknamed the lunar cataclysm.
The NASA Lunar Science Institute is pleased to announce the 5th annual NASA Lunar Science Forum, to be held July 17-19, 2012. This year's forum will feature sessions on in-depth scientific results from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, ARTEMIS, LADEE, and the GRAIL satellites, a dedicated side-conference for graduate students and young lunar professionals, as well as the annual Shoemaker Award ceremony and associated keynote lecture.
The lunar surface is both hotter (in daytime) and colder (at night) than any place on Earth.
