Can #SolarWind Make #Water on the #Moon? #NASA Experiment say7s Maybe
#Sun might be spitting out particles that create water on moon
"With only #lunar soil and a basic ingredient from the sun — which is always spitting out #hydrogen — there's a possibility of creating water."
In 2016 scientists found comet debris vaporize on impact, creating shock waves in lunar soil which can sometimes breach the dry upper layer, releasing water molecules from the hydrated layer below.

“Magic of the North”
Fires glow above and below in this award-winning image from photographer Josh Beames. In the foreground, lava from an Icelandic eruption spurts into the air and seeps across the landscape as it slowly cools. Above, the northern aurora ripples through the night sky, marking the dance of high-energy particles streaming into our atmosphere, guided by the lines of our magnetic field. Throw in some billowing turbulent smoke, and it’s hard to get more fluid dynamical (or beautiful!) than this. (Image credit: J. Beames/NLPOTY; via Colossal)

@SnowshadowII nuclear power is another scam, like #CarbonCapture. We need to get away from the drill-and-burn caveman-type of energy generation. #NuclearPower simply preserves monopolists' control of the energy markets. The most sustainable way to generate power is locally and in a distributed way. Every industry and ever home needs to be 100% self sufficient, no power lines needed (except locally). Stop mining, ban drilling, and jack up costs of greenhouse gas emissions to regulate pollution out of business... Unfortunately, at least in the US, voters seem to be more concerned about migrants eating pets and children getting sex change surgery in schools than the worsening #ClimateBreakdown

[At the origin of the #SolarWind ...], there are dark spots, coronal holes. But how can these surface disparities be linked to a flow of solar particles? Answer: by positioning the #SolarOrbiter probe on the trajectory followed ...
This experiment was carried out in the spring of 2022, when ESA's #SolarOrbiter probe was 75 million kilometers from our Sun. It led to a better understanding of the complexity of the solar wind.
