The full moon always rises around sunset, is highest in the south in the middle of the night and sets around sunrise. AND NOW FOR THE MONSTER SOLAR TORNADO. Imagine a tornado so big it dwarfs the ...

Plans have been revealed for a 50-meter-tall solar skyscraper that could supply energy on the Moon. Designed for the Moon's South Pole, the tower is being developed by NASA alongside design firm ...

For years, people have wondered how water formed on the Moon. Now, a NASA-led team says the Sun might be helping. Their latest lab test shows this idea could be true. Since the 1960s, scientists ...

Then, they used a tiny particle accelerator to bombard the dust with mock solar wind for several days—the equivalent of 80,000 years on the moon, based on the high dose of the particles used.

American defense and aerospace manufacturer Lockheed Martin is developing vertical solar array technology (VSAT) to be deployed on the Moon. A statement on the company’s website says its VSAT ...

This striking satellite footage shows the moon's shadow racing across North America at more than 1,500 mph (2,400 km/h) during 2024's historic total solar eclipse, when several unique phenomena ...

Lunar travel could be revolutionised by solar panels made from dust which covers the moon’s surface, scientists say. German researchers melted a synthetic version of the moon’s loose surface ...

Astronauts could build solar panels using the Moon to allow us to live in space, scientists have suggested. The new research would allow future explorers of space to build their own ways of ...

Future lunar bases could be powered by solar cells made on-site from melted moon dust. Building items on the moon, using materials that are already there, would be more practical than shipping ...

Researchers created solar cells made out of simulated Moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently, withstand radiation damage, and mitigate the need for transporting heavy ...

NASA's plan to establish a permanent human presence on the moon will require making better use of lunar resources. A new approach has now shown how to make solar cells out of moon dust. Later this ...

Solar panels that are 99% Moon dust could be a low-cost solution to powering a future lunar base 1. To survive in the harsh environment on the Moon, solar cells must be encapsulated in glass ...
