  1. "Harvest Moon with Erupting Mount Etna" is #NASA #astronomy picture of the day #APOD for Oct 1, 2026. Stacked images show progression of full #moon🌕 rising behind eruption clouds from Mount Etna🇮🇹 with back-lighting. The full moon is by definition when the moon is opposite the sun. Therefore on a full moon, moonrise is at sunset. So the sky darkens as expected while the moon rises in the sky after sunset. science.nasa.gov/image-article #astronomy #astrophotography #photography #volcano #geology #weather

  5. 🤖 NEW: #NASA’s Dexterous #Robotics Team at Johnson Space Center develops #humanoid robots to assist #astronaut crews on #moon and #Mars missions.

    Building on 15 years of work with #Valkyrie and #Robonaut 2, engineers test machines for equipment transport, hatch opening, and dangerous repairs in shared simulation spaces like iMETRO. Program leader Shaun Azimi frames #robots as risk reducers, not human replacements.

  9. Two studies at about the same time as the previous map showed specific ideas about sites. The first one shown here is Aristarchus. Its floor is rough but one small area might be smooth enough for a landing. For a first landing attempt, this would be very tight, but modern methods might allow it. The second was in Sinus Iridum but showed a 180 km traverse with ground penetrating radar. That vastly exceeded what Yutu might accomplish.
