Updates on a few cool things we talked about in our first class

People seeing an astroid hit the Moon! This is an article from a pretty cool (and legit) astronomer – Dr. Phil Plait. An asteroid impacted the moon during the lunar eclipse!

Europa’s colorful cracks maybe tholins but totally maybe aren’t! I liked this article by a non-scientist – it’s well-written and researched (and they make a great point about what’s available to read at the end 😉 ). The Colors of Europa: What’s That Red Stuff on Europa’s Surface? I also found this cool article from the European Space Agency: Blood-red scars and veins on Europa

AND here’s an image of Saturn’s super thin rings with some of the various moons in the image too!
