      This article reports detection and mapping of water (hydroxyl stretch in the infrared) on the surface of Moon. India played a key role in the mission and authors include researchers from PRL and ISRO. Implications for discovery of water are endless. Importance of water for life on a planetary body or development of geomorphic features/weathering, fueling plate tectonics (as in planet Earth) are just a few implications for such a discovery.

      The paper shows that in outer space, fragmentation of organic molecules like methanol under impact of highly charged ions may form H3+.

      Quantum gravity induced mass flux has a distinct feature which may lead to a novel observable signature in astrophysical bursts.

      At the time of inflation, decoupled thermal distribution of gravitons happened and this possibly amplified the generation of gravitational waves.
