A lunar lander transporting a library of information from around the world crashed on the moon, though those behind the project believe the lander\u2019s payload \u2013 which included thousands of practically indestructible creatures \u2013 survived.
Nova Spivack, co-founder and chairman of the nonprofit Arch Mission Foundation, said the organization worked with Israel-based SpaceIL to send a craft called Beresheet, which means "in the beginning" in Hebrew, to the moon with enough information to \u201cback up Earth.\u201d
\u201cInside was a lunar library consisting of 30 million pages of human knowledge,\u201d Spivack said. \u201cIncluding Wikipedia, 30,000 books, a key to 5,000 languages, David Copperfield\u2019s magic secrets and many other things. This was all etched in nickel as tiny little images that you could see with a microscope.\u201d
He said about 60,000 pages could be seen without needing a computer. Beresheet\u2019s payload was an object the size of a DVD. It contained human DNA from 25 people. There were more than 100 cells containing DNA, which, according to Spivack, is enough to \u201cregenerate the human race.\u201d
Also included in the lander\u2019s payload were 10,000 tardigrades. The tiny, nigh-indestructible creatures, also known as \u201cwater bears,\u201d are capable of surviving just about anything, including the vacuum of space. Spivack said they could possibly be recovered some day, but right now, they\u2019re in a state of suspended animation, since the moon doesn\u2019t have an atmosphere.

Something slammed into Jupiter, and all we saw was a flash

An amateur astronomer in Texas captured a rare sight earlier this week when an apparent meteor slammed into Jupiter\u2019s thick upper atmosphere.

On Wednesday, amateur astronomer Ethan Chappel was on the lookout for Perseid meteors, reports ScienceAlert. But his telescope was trained on Jupiter with the camera running. Later, after feeding the data into a software program designed to detect impact flashes, Chappel was alerted to the event.

Looking at the footage, Chappel saw a brief but discernible flash along the western portion of Jupiter\u2019s Southern Equatorial Belt, or SEB.

Later that day, Chappel announced his discovery in a tweet: \u201cImaged Jupiter tonight. Looks awfully like an impact flash in the SEB.\u201d Chappel released a sharper version of the impact on Thursday, along with a colorized view of the apparent impact.

\u201cIt expanded from a pinpoint to a small dot before fading away\u2014telltale signs of a possible impact based on previous events observed at Jupiter,\u201d noted King.

Looking at the flash, the size of the explosion seems small, but it\u2019s important to remember that Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. The meteor had to have been quite big to produce a flash of such prominence.
