Oh, and there’s a cannon on the moon shooting lunar dust into space to help partially shield sunlight to Earth. Ask your climate questions.
Well, the plan there is to mine it and then shoot it out of cannons placed along the lunar surface. This would take less energy to eject the moon dust for the shield, but we wouldn’t have as ...
Firing dust from the moon into space to create a sun shield could be a "feasible" way to mitigate global warming on Earth, a team of scientists has found. In a study published in the journal PLOS ...
NASA plans to deploy a technology demonstrator known as the Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) on the private Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1 to investigate methods for repelling and eliminating lunar ...
Dust launched from the moon’s surface or from a space station positioned between Earth and the sun could reduce enough solar radiation to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
A recent University of Utah study suggested firing lunar dust into orbit between the earth and sun to block light and cool the planet. News 3 went to the local experts to find out if it would work.
Its latest mitigation technology, called the Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS), has just been deemed a success. Lunar regolith isn't just abundant—it's also clingy.
In a year, researchers say, such dust shields could reduce Earth-bound sunlight by 1.8%, which falls within the range needed to slow our planet's rising temperature.
Jerusalem Post Environment & Climate Change Moon dust could be used to shield Earth from global warming - study Lunar dust was found to have the perfect properties to provide shielding from the ...
Space dust as Earth's sun shield Date: February 8, 2023 Source: University of Utah Summary: Dust launched from the moon's surface or from a space station positioned between Earth and the sun could ...
NASA didn't say much about how EDS works other than that it "uses electrodynamic forces to lift and remove the lunar dust from its surfaces." On the Moon, EDS's transparent electrodes and electric ...
