In a recent study published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers have uncovered an astonishing revelation about the Moon’s surface, challenging previous beliefs about its exosphere.

The moon's surface isn't smooth like a billiard ball, it's incredibly rough and porous at the microscopic level. This texture acts like a natural shield against solar wind bombardment.

Where does the Moon’s exosphere originate? A study by TU Wien, based on analysis of actual lunar rock, shows that the impact ...

Carbon and natural graphene have been found in lunar dust for the first time, opening up new opportunities for moon ...

The reactor would launch to the moon by 2030, according to a directive by acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy that was sent ...

Interlune hopes to mine the rare helium-3 isotope from the lunar surface. Customers are already lining up, including the U.S.

Fortunately, the moon has plentiful water, although it is not automatically apparent. Brought to the moon by impacts of ...

These phenomena have been seen as far as 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) above the Moon and generate a kind of turbulence in the solar wind ahead of the Moon, causing subtle changes in the solar ...

The Moon, in turn, can spend 27 percent of its time within the tail—a spot that blocks roughly 99 percent of solar wind. Previously, solar wind was given nearly carte blanche credit for the ...

The regolith itself contains a stockpile of hydrogen and water thanks to solar wind, and it's most abundant at the lunar poles, says a study of Chang'e-5 samples.

Unlike previous studies that relied on Earth-based mineral substitutes, the team used Apollo 16 moon dust and bombarded it with hydrogen and helium ions at solar wind speeds.
