  1. Members of my team- Mark Robinson (LROC), Harlan Spence (CRaTER), and David Paige (Diviner) about to give press conference on my results. about 17 hours ago from Tweed
  2. LAMP detected plume from @LCROSS_NASA impact, including presence of H2, and neutral atomic Hg w/ contributions from Ca and Mg. #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  3. Permanently shadowed regions on the Moon are "darker" than surrounding regions in Lyman-alpha. #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  4. The sky never gets darker than twilight in the Lyman-alpha line. LAMP scientists use this light as it reflects off the lunar surface. #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  5. Results from my LAMP instrument next! LAMP uses reflected uv from distant stars to see in the dark! #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  6. "Green glass" (in pyroclastic deposits) can be detected by using Mini-RF's data. #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  7. Mini-RF can image ejecta blankets around craters, such as around Kopff crater. #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  8. Mini-RF data compliments data from the LROC. #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  9. Next up: Results from my Mini-RF instrument (radar). #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  10. Some results suggest that there may be ~3-5% of water equivalent under a layer of regolith at the Moon's south pole. #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  11. Neutron suppression (suggesting presence of H) does not correlate well with permanently shadowed regions, surprising my scientists. #agu09 about 20 hours ago from web
  12. Water may have been delivered to the Moon through cometary impacts, as well as influx from solar wind. #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
  13. LEND data show a presence of hydrogen at Cabeus (where @LCROSS_NASA impacted). #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
  14. LEND's data suggest that only few permanently shadowed regions show evidence for hydrogen. #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
  15. LEND's horizontal resolution is 10km from my 50km orbit. #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
  16. Next up: Results from my LEND instrument. LEND measures neutrons at the lunar surface. #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
  17. Diviner data reveal compositional differences around Aristarchus crater. #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
  18. Lunar night temps drop as a function of the distance from the equator. Exceptions include areas where the Moon's albedo changes. #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
  19. Nighttime temperatures on the Moon reflect the properties of the lunar regolith (soil). #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
  20. I would need to orbit the Moon for 18 years for Diviner to reach all local times at all latitudes and longitudes. Whew I hope I last! #agu09 about 21 hours ago from web
