#NASA has awarded Seattle-based #Interlune $6.9 million to develop a payload suite that can cook gases out of #moon dirt and look for traces of potentially valuable #hydrogen and #helium3. The project fits into Interlune's grand plan to sell lunar helium-3 for earthly applications. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/interlune-nasa-contract-extract-helium-3-hydrogen-moon/ #Space #Regolith

#Chickpeas can grow in #moon dirt and make seeds
Scientists had some success growing plants in actual lunar #regolith from Apollo missions. But plants took in toxic metals and grew slowly, showing signs of stress.
Researchers dusted chickpeas — chosen for their hardiness & high protein content — with powdered arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Fungi help plants’ taproots branch out and reach more soil while also sequestering heavy metals away from plant

🌙 The full Moon appears about 40% brighter than geometry predicts due to the opposition surge, where regolith's microscopic particles hide their own shadows and can even produce coherent backscatter when Sun, Earth, and Moon nearly align.
✨ This hair-trigger optical effect reveals how alien dust transforms moonlight itself.
