Bombarded by cosmic radiation, they usually contain noble gases such as helium and neon. Samples returned from the Moon by the Apollo, Luna and now Chang’e missions are different from lunar meteorites because they don’t go through atmospheric entry and can maintain all the original information. What types of samples have you received?

On May 21, 2024, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) released its long-awaited advisory opinion on climate change. The first, known as greenhouse gas (GHG) removal , seeks to mitigate climate change by pulling GHGs – most commonly carbon dioxide – out of the atmosphere and durably storing them.

Proposed bans on something no one is doing Since early 2024, dozens of bills have been introduced in US state legislatures to ban solar geoengineering. And of course, lots of people seed clouds for small-scale weather modification (which is not the same thing), as they have for 80 years. But no one is doing solar geoengineering.
