Where did Earth’s water come from? Clues hidden in Apollo Moon dust
Tony Gargano, a lunar researcher at the Lunar and Planetary Institute and NASA Johnson Space Center, explores how Apollo Moon dust preserves clues to Earth’s water origins. He discusses isotopic fingerprints, how the Moon records impacts, lab vaporization experiments, limits on meteorite-delivered water, and why Artemis samples could change the story. Short bonus: George Takei reflects on Star Trek’s influence and the Moon’s future.
