When NASA looks for people to send toward the Moon, the search often leads through the high desert of Northern Arizona. The latest contender, geologist and astronaut candidate Lauren Edgar, is not just passing through that landscape,

Trained on data from NASA's exoplanet-hunting missions, the open-source ExoMiner++ deep learning model uses an advanced algorithm to validate new planets.

After completing her two-year training program, Lauren Edgar will be eligible for mission assignments, which could potentially include trips to the ISS or the moon.

New findings published in Nature Astronomy suggest the latter. By analyzing microwave data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft during its 2022 flyby, researchers estimate that Europa’s rigid outer ice shell is roughly 18 miles (29 kilometers) thick.
