Primordial Helium-3 May Be Locked in Earth’s Core, Study Finds
Helium-3, an isotope formed during the solar system's birth, may be trapped in Earth's core, a study suggests. Researchers at the University of Tokyo found that helium can mix with iron at extreme heat and pressure, allowing it to remain in Earth's solid core. This discovery could help determine how quickly the planet formed, with a rapid formation...

Lunar Temperature Fluctuations: Understanding the Moon's Extreme Conditions
The Moon's surface undergoes extreme temperature shifts, ranging from over 100°C in daylight to minus 100°C in darkness. These fluctuations are due to the lack of atmosphere, which causes rapid temperature changes. The Moon's regolith, poor at conducting heat, leads to insulation at deeper levels. Shaded areas, particularly in lunar pits, maintai...
