REVEALED: Solar storms are causing part of the Moon to MELT SOLAR storms are causing sparks on the lunar poles of the Moon, which is causing the soil to MELT, a study has revealed. With a lack of atmosphere on the Moon, the lunar satellite has no protection against solar storms, which leads to sparks on the soil which is causing it to melt away. Experts said that the effect of the soil sparks is similar to that of an asteroid impact. On Earth, when a solar storm sends particles streaming our way, the planet’s magnetic shield largely deflects the particles. However, the Moon does not have an atmosphere, so when it is caught in the offshoot of a solar storm, the solar particles rain down on it freely. The solar particles then set in two layers of the Moon – the ions stick to the top layer, known as the regolith, while the electrons seep through to a lower layer.
