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 ...

"With only lunar soil and a basic ingredient from the sun — which is always spitting out hydrogen — there's a possibility of creating water." Future moon astronauts may find water more ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Future moon astronauts may find water more accessible than previously thought, according to a new experiment that suggests the sun is replenishing the sought-after resource on the lunar surface.
