Techno live – Reanalysis of dust taken from moon show it air bound to the surface of a natural satellite Land can come from Sun.
More specifically, it could be the result of ion bombardment hydrogen by the solar wind hitting the surface of the Moon, causing it to interact with mineral oxides and bind with the released oxygen.
The upshot is that water could be hiding in significant amounts of lunar regolith in the middle and high latitudes, according to the Science Alert website on Saturday, Dec. 31, 2022.
This has implications for our understanding of the sources and distribution of water on the Moon and may also be relevant to our understanding of the origin of water on Earth.
The moon looks like a pretty dry ball of dust, but new research has found that there’s much more water there than previously thought.
The liquid does not float in lakes and lagoons but is bonded to lunar regolith which can hide as ice in permanently darkened craters and sequestered in lumps of volcanic glass.
This of course begs questions, like how much water is there actually? How is it distributed? And where do they come from? This last question can have many answers.

Some of these could come from asteroid impacts and some from Earth. But one source that comes to mind is when imagining cosmic rain clouds.
