    Abstract A dying massive star ends in a supernova explosion ejecting a large fraction of its mass into the interstellar medium. If this happens nearby, part of the ejecta might end on Solar System bodies and, in fact, radioactive ^{60}Fe has been detected on the Pacific ocean floor in about 2 Ma old layers. Here, we report on the detection of this isotope also in lunar samples, originating presumably from the same event. The concentration of the cosmic ray produced isotope ^{53}Mn, measured in the same samples, proves the supernova origin of the ^{60}Fe. From the ^{60}Fe concentrations found we deduce a reliable value for the local interstellar fluence in the range of 1×10^{8}  at/cm^{2}. Thus, we obtain constraints on the recent and nearby supernova(e).

    Abstract In this study, we describe the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of the Actias aliena belonging to the lepidopteran family Saturniidae in terms of general genomic features and composition. The 15,243 bp long genome consisted of a typical set of genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes) and 1 major non-coding A+T-rich region. The A. aliena mitogenome harbored the gene order tRNA(Met), tRNA(Ile) and tRNA(Gln) between the A+T-rich region and ND2, as shown in most lepidopteran species. The COI gene possessed the CGA initiator, which is found in nearly all lepidopterans lacking a canonical ATN initiator. Twenty-one tRNAs formed the cloverleaf secondary structures but tRNA(Ser)(AGN) formed a simple loop in the DHU arm. The 328 bp long A+T-rich region, which was located between the S rRNA and tRNA(Met) genes, contained several Lepidoptera-specific sequences, such as the ATAGA motif, a poly-T stretch, an AT repeat, and a poly-A stretch, along with an unusual tRNA(Phe)-like structure.

    Abstract We sequenced 16,971 bp of the linear mitochondrial DNA of the moon jellyfish Aurelia sp. nov. and characterized it by comparing with Aurelia aurita. They had 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA with three tRNAs (tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Ser(TGA), tRNA-Met). Both have another two PCGs, orf969 and orf324 with telomeres at both ends. After comparison of Aurelia sp. nov. with Aurelia aurita, we found low-protein similarity of orf969 (59%) and orf324 (75%), respectively, while the other 13 PCGs showed 80% to 98% protein similarities.

    Abstract Spacecraft-to-spacecraft tracking observations from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) have been used to construct a gravitational field of the Moon to spherical harmonic degree and order 420. The GRAIL field reveals features not previously resolved, including tectonic structures, volcanic landforms, basin rings, crater central peaks, and numerous simple craters. From degrees 80 through 300, over 98% of the gravitational signature is associated with topography, a result that reflects the preservation of crater relief in highly fractured crust. The remaining 2% represents fine details of subsurface structure not previously resolved. GRAIL elucidates the role of impact bombardment in homogenizing the distribution of shallow density anomalies on terrestrial planetary bodies.

    Abstract Importance: To our knowledge, there is no reliable screening method for glaucomatous eyes with myopic tilted discs.
    Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic ability of a novel screening modality, the crescent moon (CM) sign, defined as the discontinuity between the superior or inferior optic rim margin and the temporal optic rim margin, for the detection of glaucomatous eyes with myopic tilted discs.
    Design, setting, and participants: The study was cross-sectional and conducted in a hospital setting from November 1, 2011, to November 1, 2013. Seventy eyes of 70 individuals with early open-angle glaucoma (mean deviation greater than -6 dB) and 70 eyes of 70 normal control participants who had myopic tilted discs were recruited. Another independent group consisting of 60 eyes of 60 individuals with early glaucoma and 60 eyes of 60 normal control participants was enrolled. Two masked glaucoma specialists independently assessed the optic disc on stereoscopic disc photography. The diagnostic performance of the CM sign was evaluated in comparison with violation of the ISNT rule (inferior ≥ superior ≥ nasal ≥ temporal order of configuration for disc rim thickness in normal eyes) and the modified ISNT rule (application of the ISNT rule based on the long axis of the disc).
    Main outcomes and measures: Sensitivity and specificity of the CM sign.
    Results: The CM sign was more frequently observed in the inferotemporal optic rim margin than in the superotemporal optic rim margin. In a comparative evaluation of the glaucoma diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, the CM sign showed higher sensitivities (90.0%-91.4%) than the ISNT rule (73.3%-75.7%) or the modified ISNT rule (68.6%-70.0%). The CM sign also showed higher specificities (82.9%-83.3%) than the ISNT rule (68.3%-71.4%) or the modified ISNT rule (76.6%-80.0%). Furthermore, the CM sign was shown to be associated with the occurrence of visual field defects in the corresponding hemifield (P < .001).
    Conclusions and relevance: The CM sign can be a useful screening tool for the detection of early glaucoma with myopic tilted discs.

    Abstract The Holy GRAIL? The gravity field of a planet provides a view of its interior and thermal history by revealing areas of different density. GRAIL, a pair of satellites that act as a highly sensitive gravimeter, began mapping the Moon's gravity in early 2012. Three papers highlight some of the results from the primary mission. Zuber et al. (p. 668, published online 6 December) discuss the overall gravity field, which reveals several new tectonic and geologic features of the Moon. Impacts have worked to homogenize the density structure of the Moon's upper crust while fracturing it extensively. Wieczorek et al. (p. 671, published online 6 December) show that the upper crust is 35 to 40 kilometers thick and less dense—and thus more porous—than previously thought. Finally, Andrews-Hanna et al. (p. 675, published online 6 December) show that the crust is cut by widespread magmatic dikes that may reflect a period of expansion early in the Moon's history.

    Abstract In the course of 71 days in lunar orbit, from 19 February to 3 May 1994, the Clementine spacecraft acquired just under two million digital images of the moon at visible and infrared wavelengths. These data are enabling the global mapping of the rock types of the lunar crust and the first detailed investigation of the geology of the lunar polar regions and the lunar far side. In addition, laser-ranging measurements provided the first view of the global topographic figure of the moon. The topography of many ancient impact basins has been measured, and a global map of the thickness of the lunar crust has been derived from the topography and gravity.
