Moon dust is quickly becoming a magic material, from which oxygen and other elements such as titanium can be extracted, that can be compacted down to form bricks to construct lunar shelters, or ...

NASA is gearing up for lunar landings with Artemis by testing how powerful rocket exhausts from SpaceX and Blue Origin landers will interact with the Moon’s surface. Engineers fired a 3D-printed ...

We tend to think of the moon as little more than a barren rock, but it’s very, very dusty. However, this dust is a little different than the stuff that collects on our bookshelves. Every time an ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA scientists suggest the Sun's solar wind might be a key factor in creating water on the ...

New research using moon rocks from the Apollo missions has revealed hidden dangers facing future astronauts. The study, ...

When astronauts went to the Moon for the Apollo missions, they found that moon dust was a major problem. The dust caused runny eyes and irritated throats, and there have since been indications ...

Scientists confirm the Sun's charged particles can create water on the Moon. Learn how solar wind interacts with lunar soil.

Solar cells made of moon dust could power future space exploration, suggests a new study. The same dirt that clings to astronauts’ boots may one day keep their lights on, say scientists.

Lunar samples show evidence that solar wind could be behind the water molecules on the moon's surface, according to NASA. The results could shine a light on how water ice collects in cold traps formed ...

NASA simulated 80,000 years of solar wind in one week to prove the Moon creates water from sunlight and dust—unlocking a game ...

Over 4.6 billion years ago, Earth took shape from a spinning cloud of dust and gas surrounding the young sun. Tiny particles ...
