“We, IEEE Spectrum of St. Joseph’s College of Engineering, conducted a Spectrum session. The speaker, Ms.D. Sirapani spoke on “ Into the Darkness: Moon’s Hidden Hemisphere and the Advancement in Space Technologies ” on 20th April , 2024. The speaker enlightened us with the idea that “ The IEEE Spectrum article titled “Into the Darkness: Moon’s Hidden Hemisphere and the Advancement in Space Technologies” discusses that “ Scientists are racing to protect future lunar telescopes from interference on the moon’s far side, which offers a quiet environment for radio telescopes. However, with a lunar “gold rush” of missions, including lunar landings and mining operations, astronomers are sounding the alarm to ensure science isn’t compromised. Additionally, researchers are exploring the use of optical fibers as seismometers on the moon, potentially enabling detection of seismic waves from deep within the lunar interior” .The session was held between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Our target audience were 2nd , 3rd and final years . A total of 20 participants participated and had an amazing experience during the meet, thoroughly enjoying the entire session. The speaker was honored with an E- memento.
