Washington, Aug 22 (IANS) High-energy particles from solar storms may have electrically charged the soil in the moon's frigid polar regions, altering its properties, a study suggests. This could change our understanding of the evolution of planetary surfaces in the solar system. The study by University of New Hampshire (UNH) and NASA scientists suggests that permanently shadowed regions, which hold clues to our solar system's past, may be more active than previously thought. "Decoding the history recorded within these cold, dark craters requires understanding what processes affect their soil," said Andrew Jordan from UNH.
