/article/saharan-dust-cloud-strikes-united-statesJake Hebert, Ph.D. - Recently, the southeastern United States was hit by a huge cloud of dust from the Sahara desert that drifted across the Atlantic Ocean. A second such cloud arrived soon after.1,2 These Saharan dust clouds are actually quite common, but this plume...
Titan Receding from Saturn Faster than Expected - Jul 10, 2020
/article/titan-receding-from-saturn-faster-than-expectedJake Hebert, Ph.D. - Data obtained from the Cassini space probe show that Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is receding away from Saturn a hundred times faster than scientists previously thought.1,2 Titan is moving away from Saturn for basically the same reason...
Lunar Recession in the News - Jun 25, 2020
/article/lunar-recession-in-the-newsJake Hebert, Ph.D. - Recently, the issue of the moon’s motion away from Earth was discussed on a popular science website.1,2 The author of the article is a geologist who disputes the creationist claim that the moon’s gradual recession from the Earth is a...
Billions of Years of Lunar Rockfalls? - Jun 19, 2020
/article/billions-of-years-of-lunar-rockfallsJake Hebert, Ph.D. - A team of researchers used more than two million images obtained by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to construct the first near-global map of rockfalls on the moon. The map shows more than 136,000 rockfalls between 80° northern and...
Universe’s “First” Stars Are Missing? - Jun 9, 2020
/article/universe-first-stars-are-missingJake Hebert, Ph.D. - A recent attempt by European astronomers to use the Hubble Space Telescope to find evidence for the first stars expected by secular theory has failed. This is despite the Hubble Space Telescope’s ability to image objects at vast...
