Heat of the Moon

In "Heat of the Moon: The Close Approach That Changed Everything," author Thomas J. Powell examines the renewed interest in lunar exploration, highlighting unanswered questions from the Apollo missions and the detours taken in scientific research since then. The audiobook introduces the Close Approach Lunar Model (CALM), which posits that a significant incident 250 million years ago altered the Earth-Moon dynamic, triggering volcanic eruptions and reshaping the planet's atmosphere. By linking this historical event to contemporary discoveries, the CALM offers fresh insights into our understanding of the solar system and paves the way for future explorations under the Artemis program.
