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.

Triton isn’t just any moon – it’s one of the most mysterious objects in the entire solar system. In this video, we explore what makes Neptune’s largest moon so strange, from its backward ...

Space Science nasa moon Moon's surface can make water thanks to solar wind, NASA experiment confirms Decades-old theory about lunar water finally proven By Skye Jacobs April 28, 2025, 5:04 PM ...

The defense and aerospace company’s vertical solar array technology (VSAT) reaches up to 19.8 m in length. Lockheed Martin says the technology is capable of providing continuous and sustainable ...

Troublesome lunar dust could soon be transformed into solar cells to help power moon bases and humanity's push to explore further out into space. This is the promise of an international team of ...

While some of these problems are absent on the moon, lunar solar panels could face issues with UV sensitivity and susceptibility to thermal shock.

For the study, the researchers melted simulated lunar regolith and combined it with perovskite, which are used for the sunlight to electricity conversion. They not only discovered that these new solar ...

The researcher aims to replace Earth-made glass used in solar panels with 'moon glass,' or glass derived from lunar regolith.

Solar cells made from Moon dust could power lunar bases, slashing launch costs and resisting space radiation better than current tech. (CREDIT: P. Carril/ESA) ...

Vision of future solar cell fabrication on the Moon, utilizing raw regolith. Shown are robots that source raw regolith and bring it to a production facility, which fabricates perovskite-based moon ...

The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. Researchers created solar cells made out of simulated Moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy ...
