TL;DR: Analysis of recent infrared mapping by Chandrayaan-1 and Deep Impact, and reexamining Cassini data obtained during its early flyby of the Moon, Pieters et al. reveal a noticeable absorption signal for H2O and OH across much of the surface, implying that solar wind is depositing and/or somehow forming water and OH in minerals near the lunar surface, and that this trapped water is dynamic.

TL;DR: In this article, photometric data on 17 binary near-Earth asteroids (15 of them are certain detections, two are probables) were analyzed and characteristic properties of the near Earth asteroid (NEA) binary population were inferred.

TL;DR: The nucleus of the Jupiter-family comet 19P/Borrelly was closely observed by the Miniature Integrated Camera and Spectrometer aboard the Deep Space 1 spacecraft on 22 September 2001, and Borrelly's coma exhibits two types of dust features: fans and highly collimated jets.

TL;DR: Dawn's observations confirm that Vesta is a small differentiated planetary body with an inner core, and represents a surviving proto-planet from the earliest epoch of solar system formation, and reveal its color and photometric diversity are indicative of its status as a preserved, differentiated protoplanet.

TL;DR: Lantz et al. as discussed by the authors reported measured spectral properties for more than 1000 near-Earth objects (NEOs), representing approximately 5% of the currently discovered population of NEOs.
