Wait, the Moon Is Eating Our Air?!

Turns out, the Moon has been snacking on bits of Earth’s atmosphere for billions of years! Scientists just found that particles like oxygen and nitrogen hitch a ride on the solar wind and end up in the lunar soil. Wildest part? Earth’s magnetic field might actually help send these molecules over, not block them. This could mean future moon explorers might use these elements for fuel or water. Who knew our closest neighbor was basically living off our leftovers? #Science #SpaceNews #Moon
