The theory behind solar wind creating water on the Moon is simple but powerful. Since the 1960s, researchers have speculated that charged particles from the Sun might trigger a chemical reaction ...

Credit: NASA/JPL According to NASA, the water that's been detected on the moon follows an interesting pattern — it changes on a daily cycle. Areas warmed by the sun release water as vapor ...

Plastic water bottles may release toxic chemicals when they are left out in the sun, new research suggests. Plastic water bottles may release toxic chemicals when they are left out in the sun ...

Scientists have hypothesized since the 1960s that the sun is a source of ingredients that form water on the moon. When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind smashes into the lunar ...

Mars has lost enough water to space to form a global ocean up to hundreds of kilometers deep. Seasonal changes can have a dramatic effect on how quickly Mars loses its water to space, a joint ...
