Can Solar Wind Make Water on Moon? NASA Experiment Shows Maybe 

Scientists have hypothesized since the 1960s that the Sun is a source of ingredients that form water on the Moon. When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind smashes into the lunar surface, the idea goes, it triggers a chemical reaction that could make water molecules.   

Now, in the most realistic lab simulation of this process yet, NASA-led researchers have confirmed this prediction.  

The finding, researchers wrote in a March 17 paper in JGR Planets, has implications...
