Earth’s atmosphere is slowly leaking into space, and new research shows some of it reaches the Moon, where it may be ...

A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar wind and our planet's magnetic field, upending a 20-year-old theory based ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

Scientists say Earth’s magnetic field may have funneled atmospheric particles to the moon for billions of years. Lunar soil could preserve a record of Earth’s past while providing resources for future ...

The Moon is a pretty peculiar object. It is believed that it formed from the incredible collision between the proto-Earth and ...

Recent scientific research has confirmed that charged particles from Earth’s atmosphere have been reaching the Moon for ...

Lunar rocks are famously dry. They contain almost none of the volatile elements that easily escape into space, such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and light noble gases. Yet those same elements appear ...

Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field. Rather than blocking particles, the magnetic field can funnel them along ...

What effects can an exoplanet orbiting close to its star have on the former’s atmosphere? This is what a recent study ...
