Daniel Astudillo has joined the Planetary Geochemistry group at UF as an MSc student! Daniel comes from Santiago, Chile, where he did his BSc at the Universidad de Chile. He studied the 2015 eruption of the Calbuco volcano in Chile using trace elements, volatiles, and melt inclusions. At UF, he's becoming a bit more of a 'lunatic', studying crustal rocks collected by Apollo 17 to better understand the inter-sample relationships between those rocks and what they can tell us about the age of the lunar crust.

With the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 is July, The University of Florida highlighted our work on Apollo samples and all of the interesting things we are still learning from these rocks half a century later. The article, which you can read here, also highlights the NASA mission proposal which I am a co-investigator on. We are proposing to bring new samples of the Moon back from what we believe are the youngest flood basalts on the Moon. If you want to know more about our mission proposal, we which hope is selected for flight, you can check our more details in this great article from Space.com!
