Sunset and Sunrise Crepuscular Rays on the MOON

reply to post by frankensence


Has it been mentioned that as dust and slow micrometeors fall from space to Earth in the amount of many tons a year, wouldn't that also be happening to the Moon even though it has a smaller presence? And given that light travels so well in a vacuum (being visible for long distances) would not a little reflecting dust up there go a long way toward being visible in addition to "levitating" surface dust, etc.?

Has the new revelations about the amount of water on the Moon's surface--I think it was estimated at one litre per ton--been factored into this long discussion?

Not yet, but that's one more thing to think about.

A star for being the first one to post about that here.
