We tend to think of the moon as little more than a barren rock, but it’s very, very dusty. However, this dust is a little different than the stuff that collects on our bookshelves. Every time an ...

A group of U.S. scientists this week proposed an unorthodox scheme to combat global warming: creating large clouds of moon dust in space to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth. In their plan, we would ...

Moon dust may not be as harmful to humans as had been thought, with a new experiment showing that the typical air pollution on a busy street is more toxic than inhaling lunar dust. "The results ...

A group of U.S. scientists recently proposed an unorthodox scheme to combat global warming: creating large clouds of Moon dust in space to reflect sunlight and cool Earth. In their plan, we would mine ...

We could cut fossil fuel use. Or we could put cannons on the Moon and shoot enough dust into orbit to block out the light of the Sun! Reading time 4 minutes In case you haven’t noticed, things are ...

NASA hopes to use students to develop ideas on controlling the kick-up of dust when future moon landers set down on our lunar satellite. The initiative is part of what NASA calls the Human Lander ...

Instead of launching dust from Earth into a stable orbit to block a small amount of sunlight, scientists aim to mine the lunar surface and push the moon powder ballistically into the desired location.

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 ...

"It's really not a question of robotic exploration or human exploration," Ehlmann said. "It is an 'and' — it's robotic and ...
