John Kitzhaber, left, Klamath Tribes Chairman Don Gentry, center, and cattle rancher Becky Hyde, sign an agreement Friday, April 18, 2014 in Chiloquin, Ore., to share water on rivers through the tribes' former reservation and cooperate on restoring fish sacred to the tribes. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said he would introduce legislation next month in the U.S. Senate based on the agreement ending decades of conflict over scarce water in the upper Klamath Basin. Water was shut off to cattle ranchers last summer during a drought after the tribes were awarded senior water rights in the area. (AP Photo/The Herald and News, Steven Stilton)

FILE - In this undated illustration made available by NASA, dust scatters light during the lunar sunset as the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) orbits the moon. On Friday, April 18, 2014, flight controllers confirmed that the orbiting spacecraft crashed into the back side of the moon as planned, just three days after surviving a full lunar eclipse, something it was never designed to do. During its $280 million mission, LADEE identified various components of the thin lunar atmosphere — neon, magnesium and titanium, among others — and studied the dusty veil surrounding the moon, created by all the surface particles kicked up by impacting micrometeorites.
