What! Earth sprinkles water and minerals on the Moon through 'magnetic highways' from our atmosphere
Earth's atmosphere is surprisingly contributing to the Moon, a new study reveals. Tiny particles, guided by magnetic fields, escape our planet and accumulate on the lunar surface over billions of years. This lunar soil acts as an archive, potentially holding clues to Earth's atmospheric history, from ancient volcanic activity to modern human impacts.
