The mission will help scout for landing sites, as NASA is holding fast to its plans to return astronauts to the moon by 2020. LRO will also hunt for signs of water ice on the moon, as well as help study the irregular lunar gravity field, caused by dense concentrations of mass beneath the surface--the geological equivalent of lumps in oatmeal. Most dramatically, it will collect detailed images of all six Apollo landing sites, which have stood unseen for close to 40 years...

While he recorded his highest ERA in his three seasons at Harvard, Ivy League batters still...
...Crimson is no longer the underdog. Harvard enters the game with the top seed in the tournament and the momentum generated from a 5-1 drubbing of No. 8 Dartmouth in the quarterfinals. The Badgers are fresh off an overtime upset of No. 4 Minnesota.Playing on the neutral ice of the DECC in Duluth also eliminates the home-ice advantage Wisconsin enjoyed when the teams last met.Another difference—neither team has the same lineup from last year’s marathon contest.“We’re different teams from where we were a year...
