New research suggests that volcanoes were still erupting on the moon at the time dinosaurs were alive on Earth. The evidence ...

Shiny glass beads from the Moon are bringing scientists one step closer to understanding how future astronauts might survive the seemingly barren lunar terrain, and how the Solar System evolves today.

Specifically, the impact glass beads scientists extracted from the soils that China's Chang’e 5, or CE5, lunar mission collected. The beads are “the quenched mixture of lunar surface material produced ...

Outside of these glass beads, researchers have discovered other sources of water as well, including copious deposits of water ice in permanently shadowed craters near the space rock's poles.

Researchers have discovered water inside glass beads formed by violent collisions of space rocks with the surface of the Moon, suggesting their potential use by "future explorers." The amount of ...

These glass beads, however, contain water that wasn't originally on the moon. Instead, the beads and the water within them were formed as a result of impacts from meteorites at immense speeds.
