Hey Space Placers (& Fellow Moon Lovers)!
Here are two items of interest as to the Moon with more to follow tomorrow.
There will be a total lunar eclipse this weekend, December 10th, although the viewing area will vary. This eclipse favors the western U.S. and Canada with the eastern U.S. being out of the viewing area. See the link for more details: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/02dec_lunareclipse/
This link details the very latest lunar map showing where Titanium deposits are located and explains why studying Titanium on the Moon is scientifically important: http://www.europlanet-eu.org/outreach/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=360&Itemid=41.
Tomorrow I will have another lunar map or two and some news about the Moon's "atmosphere".
