Scientists Just Solved the Mystery of the Moon’s Lopsided Dust Halo
Scientists have solved why the Moon’s dust cloud is uneven: heat. Using computer models, researchers found that meteor impacts on the Moon’s sunlit surface fling 6–8% more dust into space than on the cold night side, creating a lopsided halo. NASA warns this dust could threaten future landers and astronauts.

Massive 200-Light-Year Cloud May Be Channeling Matter to the Milky Way's Core
Astronomers have discovered a massive, 200-light-year-wide cloud of gas and dust—dubbed the Midpoint cloud—hidden in the Milky Way. This giant molecular cloud appears to channel dense material into the galaxy’s core, possibly fueling star formation. The discovery offers rare insights into how matter flows from the galaxy’s disk to its turbu...
