A new NASA radar technique has just found something astonishing circling the moon many miles away: a long-lost lunar probe launched by India that went missing eight years ago. Chandrayaan-1 is a very small spacecraft that is jut five feet on each size, half the size of a small car, and scientists were able to locate it with a remarkable new method using radar.

New NASA radar technique finds lost lunar spacecraft
It is known as the “Mars Antenna” as it was first to receive signals from the first spacecraft to closely observe Mars, Mariner 4, on March 18, 1966. Finding derelict spacecraft and space debris in Earth’s orbit can be a technological challenge.
2016 to break heat record
Two days before the presidential inauguration, scientists are expected to announce that 2016 was the hottest year on Earth since record-keeping began in 1880 - news that will test national, state and economic leadership on climate change. Even as Washington, D.C., and California bundle up against winter chill, records will show that extreme heat blanketed large areas of every continent this year, pushing up average temperatures for the third year in a row.
