Using Laser Beams And Electric Fields, NASA Researchers Probe Curious
Many researchers believe that moondust has a severe case of static cling: it's electrically charged. In the lunar daytime, intense ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun knocks electrons out of the powdery grit. Dust grains on the moon's daylit surface thus become positively charged. Eventually, the repulsive charges become so strong that grains are launched off the surface like cannonballs, arcing kilometers above the moon until gravity makes them fall back again to the ground. The moon may have a virtual atmosphere of this flying dust, sticking to astronauts from above and below. Or so the theory goes. Rodent's Bizarre Traits Deepen Mystery Of Genetics, Evolution
