Russia's Luna-25 mission aims to collect samples of moon rock and dust, crucial for understanding the moon's environment before any potential base construction.
The continued record warm temperatures in the North Atlantic, which is connected to climate change, is a key factor in increasing the prediction because it is hotter and lasted longer than initially expected, Rosencrans said.
A rocket carrying a lunar landing craft blasted off Friday on Russia’s first moon mission in nearly 50 years, racing to land on Earth’s satellite ahead of an Indian spacecraft.
This climatic catastrophe is believed to have wiped out the entire population of Homo erectus, the first human species to have expanded beyond Africa, who had colonised Europe.
