In a stunning reminder of our place in the vastness of space, a remarkable image taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows ...

Since the 1960s, a leading hypothesis has suggested that the Sun itself might be responsible, with its relentless stream of charged particles, known as the solar wind, interacting with the Moon's ...

Explore the potential for harvesting vast amounts of solar energy by covering the Moon's surface with panels. The seating chart at Pope Francis’ funeral won’t prioritize Donald Trump’s ego ...

This discovery reinforces the theory that solar wind is a primary source of water on the Moon, potentially impacting future lunar missions like Artemis. Since the Apollo missions in the 1960s ...

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 ...

The “moonglass,” smelted on the moon itself, would then be used as shielding for perovskite-based solar panels. The panels could be used as a source of power for a lunar facility. Perovskites ...

Future lunar bases could run on solar panels forged from molten moon dust, turning the Moon’s surface into an energy source, thanks to a new research breakthrough. Scientists at the University ...

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 ...

Getting enough power to support human life on the Moon isn’t just a matter of plugging in solar panels. Every kilogram sent into space can cost over a million euros. That makes traditional solar ...

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 ...

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 ...
