Scientific Discoveries: On the Moon

Besides water are their other scientific discovers about the moon?

Hook

Can you use these discoveries to in a story?

About This Newsletter

It has been scientifically proved that the moon is not made of green or any other color of cheese. This is a disappointment for cheese lovers everywhere. Please, forgive the humor, I am writing this on World Laughter Day.

Proven scientific discoveries concern water on the moon and a huge mass of metal under the South Lunar Pole. This means more inspiration for science fiction writers.

Letter From the Editor

One recent scientific discovery concerns a huge metal structure beneath the surface of the moon. This structure is located under the South Lunar Pole-Aitken basin. All that is known about it is that it is metal of some type. One of the possible explanations is that it is the core of an asteroid. Another explanation is the possibility it is the oxides from a magma ocean. Both of these explanations are logical scientific deductions. Neither of these explanations should stop imitative authors from coming up with their own story lines.

Another scientific discovery concerns water on the moon. This discovery is probably more important than any other, because it will help humanity colonize moon. Some of the water is in ice scattered across the moon's surface. Another place water was discovered was in glass beads located in meteorite impact zones. If the water can be recovered, there might be enough to sustain large areas of colonization.

There is water on the moon
this is a great boon
for scientific exploration
and lunar colonization.

Beholden writes: Thank you very much for including my short story, Outcast, amongst your Editor's Picks.

Nobody’s Home writes: Thanks for this fun newsletter. I've never heard of the egg-laying hare, and I wondered that a lot as a kid. –– Adding a Pooka to a story is an excellent idea – perfect for a story I've got hibernating, actually! (Years ago we had a cat we named Xander as a kitten, but soon we only referred to him as "the Pooka." I think in this day and age, cats are frequently pookas.) Cheers!

Oh, I've made a recent item involving the Easter Bunny's son and a female leprechaun.

Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? writes: In step 5, you left out the question where. I would want to know where it's going to hit. This also leads to additional questions for the others like how likely is this to happen? How much of an impact will this have on earth? How can I protect myself, if I can?

Also, just curious as to why you take notes on your articles in longhand. I take notes directly into my bitems...mostly because I'm lazy and unlikely to transition things to there. Now, I do know that you access different creative/emotional centers when writing by hand vs. typing, so in creative writing, this makes perfect sense to me. But for taking notes on an article, it seems like an unnecessary step. I'm just wondering why you do it.

Thanks for this article!
