The 1962 Iowa Summer Study
Author’s note: this article was originally published in The Space Review. In June of 1962, scientists from around the United States descended on Iowa City for a summer study on science in space. Among the roster of over 200 attendees were names like Van Allen, Kuiper, Shoemaker, Spitzer, Whipple, Drake, and Sagan. They were enticed …

The First Photograph of the Earth From the Moon: A Visual History
On August 23, 1966, the team behind NASA’s Lunar Orbiter I captured the first image of Earth as seen from the Moon. You will sometimes see an updated version of this image, in fantastic resolution with all imperfections erased. It is an impressive restoration created by the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP) in 2008, …

Exploring the Far Side of the Moon: A Visual History
Lunar exploration has always held a strange position in the history of exploration. For all of human history, people have been staring up at the Moon, and for centuries astronomers used telescopes to study the lunar surface. The telescopic surveying and mapping of the Moon by astronomers can (and should, I think) be considered a …

“Standing By”: Science Communication on Apollo 8
This morning, as I sipped my coffee, I took in the view of a crescent Earth from the perspective of astronauts heading toward the Moon. It’s the first time this has been possible in over 50 years. Yesterday, as I awaited the launch of Artemis II, I watched the CBS broadcast of Apollo 8, in …

Mendocino
Hidden faults revealed by microseismicity at the Mendocino Triple Junction. Based on Shelly et al. (Science, 2026): where three tectonic plates meet off Northern California, swarms of tiny earthquakes — thousands of times too weak to feel — expose two hidden fragments buried deep beneath the surface. Five moving pieces, not three. The invisible structure emerges as earthquakes accumulate.
