But policies put in place during his tenure have been blamed by some for the financial crisis that began shortly after he left, and the so-called Great Recession. Greenspan, 87, talks about his new book why it is so difficult for even experts to predict economic calamity.

Going Back to the Moon Could Settle Questions about Lunar Origin
In order to truly answer the unsolved mysteries of the moon's origin, new sample retrieval missions will be needed, one scientist says. "...the collection [of Apollo lunar samples] is merely from six landing sites, all on the near side of the moon and all close to the equator," said Ian Crawford, professor of planetary science and astrobiology at Birkbeck College, University of London. "We now know that the moon is geologically diverse, so the Apollo collection isn’t really representative of the whole moon," he added.
The cause of a mysterious, long-lasting, superbright form of supernova may now have been discovered, astronomers say, and surprisingly, these outbursts may be driven by the birth of magnetars.
