Scientists have unraveled the long-standing mystery of the Moon's 'horizon glow,' a phenomenon observed just after sunset on the Moon's western horizon. This glow is now understood to be caused by two newly-discovered phenomenaâ'sunrise dust storms' and 'horizon brightening'âboth linked to the movement of dust on the lunar surface. High-energy sunlight charges the dust particles, lifting them about a meter off the surface and creating additional brightness. Data from a dust detector established in 1966 remains crucial to understanding this phenomenon.
Experts have finally solved the mystery of the moon's eerie glow known as 'horizon glow,' linking it to dust movements and newly-discovered phenomena.
The bizarre glow results from 'sunrise dust storms' and 'horizon brightening,' which together create a glow that's been baffling scientists for over 50 years.
