About

    Lunar soil, also known as regolith, refers to the layer of loose, fragmented material that covers the surface of the Moon. It is composed of a mixture of fine dust, rocks, and other materials, and is typically several meters thick. Lunar soil plays a crucial role in understanding the geology and history of the Moon, as well as potentially serving as a valuable resource for future human exploration and colonization missions. Researchers study lunar soil to learn more about the Moon's formation, evolution, and composition, as well as to assess its potential use for construction materials, agriculture, and other applications in space exploration.
