Earthlings are known to mediate with lasers and try to make them for different purposes. While communicate with beings from this world with lasers was a challenging idea and a difficult project to pull off; sending to the moon and returning it, however, was a success.
A group of NASA scientists has finally received their signal back of the month, thanks to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). NASA used infrared lasers developed by its colleagues from the Géoazur team at the Côte d’Azur University, France.
However, they have been waiting more than 10 years for a response since LRO arrived at the Moon in 2009.
RELATIONSHIP: NEWLY LASER BEAM DEFECTS THE LAWS OF LIGHT
How does it work?
It is not the first time a reflector has been used for such a purpose. Scientists have relied on reflectors on the Minne missions since the Apollo program back in 1969.
In principle, a laser beam from the earth is sent to the reflector, after which the amount of time it takes to return is measured. It also helps in calculating the distance between Earth laser stations and Moon reflectors. Told a few important moon-related discoveries were made by these.
One of them was the fact that the moon has a liquid core, closed off by the small vibrating motions it makes when it revolves around itself.
The other revelation made by the magnetic measurements was that the small celestial body had a magnetic field a long time ago. It raised the question of what the inside of the moon was made of.
What’s the point?
It’s time for RLO to find out why the 50-year-old reflector tool installed by Apollo 11 and 14 crews are now sending quite a few signals to Earth.
Old reflectors are believed to be covered by the dust of micrometeorite effects on the moon. And that the fabric blocks beams to reach the reflectors properly. Scientists now plan to compare the mismatch between the light returning from the LRO and the old panels with computer models to find out if the dust is the real problem.
Although the experiments are successful and the related research is published, scientists are not done collecting even more information.
