Lunar dust study links space weathering to changes in Moon ultraviolet brightness
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 05, 2026
SAN ANTONIO – Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists working with researchers at UT San Antonio have analyzed Apollo lunar soil samples to determine how space weathering alters the Moon’s surface and affects its far-ultraviolet (FUV) reflectance. The team examined how exposure to solar wind and micrometeoroid impacts over long periods changes the FUV spectral response of lunar grains, us
