An astronaut wearing space gear stands on the dusty lunar ground alongside an exploration flag, an equipment storage container, and natural terrain features like craters and loose rocks. The airless Moon environment requires specialized life-support equipment for human exploration.

Remarkable Facts About the Moon and Space Missions

Footprints left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts will remain intact for millions of years because the Moon has no atmosphere, wind, or liquid water to erode them. Lunar dust, called regolith, consists of fine glass-like particles created by billions of years of meteorite impacts shattering surface rock.
