Baller business relationships live here too, especially ones where duties are NOT split 50/50-like an investor and a creator or an agent and a writer. Those ‘til death do us part vows are put to the test in the 8th house, along with terms like “for better and for worse” and “for richer and for poorer.” This zone rules the business side of marriage, like joint bank accounts, shared investments (like the family home, for one), wills and divorces. And you’d better walk your talk…or else there will be consequences. Word is bond in the 8th house of merged assets. We’re not trying to scare you, but we are trying to warn you. Welcome to the eighth house where relationships become permanent and often turn into power struggles. Twitter Facebook Pinterest Pocket Money, sex and ultimate domination! Oh, and a side of esoteric magic too. A longtime writer for, David has been reporting on the space industry for more than five decades. Leonard David is author of 'Moon Rush: The New Space Race' (National Geographic, 2019). The search for the impact crater will be challenging and might take weeks to months.' 'Following the impact, the mission can use its cameras to identify the impact site, comparing older images to images taken after the impact. 'This unique event presents an exciting research opportunity,' they added.

However, the mission team is assessing if observations can be made to any changes to the lunar environment associated with the impact and later identify the crater formed by the impact,' NASA officials said in a statement provided to Inside Outer Space. LRO 'will not be in a position to observe the impact as it happens. Meanwhile, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) will monitor the moon's exosphere for any changes due to the March 4 impact, and it will look for the crater in the months to come. The bottom line for Gray is the need for better tracking of high-orbiting objects. That would have avoided the initial identification issue, where I thought this was the DSCOVR upper stage.' 'First step would be to release 'last known positions and velocities' for objects going into high Earth orbits or solar or lunar orbits. 'Well, we should indeed do a better job of tracking these objects,' he said. Twin moon probes crash into lunar mountain Wanted: Better trackingĪll of this confusion raises a flag in Gray's view. NASA slammed a rocket body into the moon for science Moon facts: Fun information about the Earth's moon 'But asteroid observers did keep track of it several times over that year, and in the years afterward, such that I was able to say it would hit the moon in March.'Ĭhina's Chang'e program: Missions to the moon 'So I very much doubt 18SPCS were actually tracking it,' Gray said. You can't run an orbit for an object of this sort out a year and get anything meaningful.'Īlso, during much of that year after launch, the Chang'e 5-T1 upper stage would have been well beyond the range of radar. If the reentry computation is based on just that initial tracking data, with no further observations taken into account, it's not going to be any good. 'If they had, they probably would have posted updated trajectory data.

'Basically, I don't think 18SPCS tracked the object much after launch,' Gray said. Those two would be Chang'e 5-T1, which sent a prototype lunar sample-return capsule on a journey around the moon, and Chang'e 5, which returned lunar samples to our planet in December 2020. 'I think it just involved confusion about two similarly named missions.'

'But as best I can tell, this particular error didn't involve tracking data,' he told Inside Outer Space. It's sort of like trying to predict weather a year in advance, Gray added. If that's all they had to work with, then the reentry date is a prediction a year ahead of time and is not particularly meaningful.' 'But the only trajectory data they provide are for shortly after launch. 'We do have a small mystery, in that the 18th Space Control Squadron lists this booster (the same one I'm saying will hit the moon) as having instead hit the Earth's atmosphere in October 2015, almost a year after launch,' Gray explained.
