NASA’s Artemis missions could finally answer long‑standing mysteries about the Moon, from how it formed to why its far side looks so different from the side facing Earth. New samples and instruments may reveal how much water the Moon holds, what’s inside its core, and why its ancient magnetic field disappeared — reshaping what scientists know about lunar history and future exploration.

A Guinness World Records‑recognized hair collector says he now only collects samples from dead celebrities after a living star threatened legal action. The unusual hobby highlights the strange legal and ethical lines around celebrity memorabilia — and how far fandom can go before it crosses into controversy.

Pro-recall residents warn “Our city is collapsing” while city officials accuse the effort of being politically driven and promise legal countermeasures.

During Artemis II’s lunar flyby, the crew will enter a planned 40-minute communications blackout as Orion passes behind the Moon and loses link with Earth. This marks their most isolated moment—four astronauts floating in silence, executing critical science tasks without real-time support. Astronaut Victor Glover urged the public to “pray, hope, send your good thoughts” during the silence, while the experience echoes Apollo 11’s “alone” 48‑minute blackout on the far side.
