Have they found the Monolith? Is it really made of green cheese? Did they find the remnants of the secret Nazi base?
NASA will hold a press conference Monday at noon to announce an “exciting new discovery” about the moon, which you can watch on the live stream above.
“This new discovery contributes to NASA’s efforts to learn about the moon in support of deep space exploration,” the agency’s statement says. “Understanding the science of the moon also helps piece together the broader history of the inner solar system.”
Here’s what we know about the announcement, from Business Insider: the announcement comes from information collected from “NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, a modified Boeing 747 jet plane that uses a 9-foot telescope to capture infrared images of planets and other objects in our solar system. The plane flies about 41,000 feet above the Earth.”
