We know there's ice on the Moon – what's less clear is where it came from.
Within the magnetotail is a plasma sheet made up of highly charged electrons and ions, pulled from Earth's atmosphere and solar wind radiation from the Sun.the role the magnetotail and the larger magnetosphere might play in lunar water formation. The magnetosphere is created as Earth's protective magnetic field rebuffs the Sun's solar wind, creating a variety of effects in its wake.
Other forces are at play, the researchers think – specifically, electrons. One of the ways this might happen is high-energy electrons reacting with the lunar soil, releasing trapped"In the magnetotail, there may be additional formation processes or new sources of water not directly associated with the implantation of solar wind protons,"Li."In particular, radiation by high energy electrons exhibits similar effects as the solar wind protons.
Further observations and experiments on the lunar surface are going to be needed to find out for sure, but it's an interesting proposal –that scientists are looking into to try and determine where the Moon's water first originated. And there are lots of reasons the source of water on the Moon fascinates scientists: It teaches us more about its past, and it's also vital in figuring out how we could live long-term"Altogether, this finding and my previous findings of rusty lunar poles indicate that the mother Earth is strongly tied with its Moon in many unrecognized aspects,"
