The next time astronauts land on the moon, we will watch it in high-definition. The transmission will be in color, digital ...

caused sneezing and allergies like "lunar dust hay fever." A NASA study in 2005 noted the particles damaged instrument covers, spacecraft radiators and spacesuit seals and "generally coated ...

It’ll also have to figure out the dust. Lunar dust is made of gnarly little particles — jagged and sharp-edged grains that add up to a major problem for astronauts and just about any human ...

The UD experiment is part of the Regolith Adherence Characterization (RAC) payload set to determine how moon dust particles stick to different materials exposed to the moon’s environment. These ...

“Lunar dust particles can become charged due to exposure to the solar ultraviolet radiation. And these particles can experience what we think is electrostatic repulsion, causing them to lift off ...

Lunar dust covers the entire surface of the Moon, with about 20% of the bulk regolith composed of particles smaller than 20 micrometers. This dust can contaminate water systems in multiple ways ...

Open the Youtube video The images could provide clues to explain lunar horizon glow, a phenomenon where dust particles in the Moon's thin atmosphere create a glow during lunar sunset. First ...

the particles following ballistic paths that shoot out across the surface at high speed. In fact if you look closely at the dust kicked up by the astronauts' boots as they walked on the moon, you ...

On Earth, the closest equivalents to lunar and Martian dust are the choking storms that sometimes blow west from the Gobi Desert to blanket Beijing with millions of tons of ultrafine particles.

The study explores the manipulation of lunar particles through the application ... is crucial for various space applications, including dust elimination, raw material transport, and mineral ...

Pesky lunar dust is an annoying obstacle for astronauts landing on the Moon—it sticks to pretty much everything. New research from Washington State University may have cracked the code for ...
