For instance, astronomers have proposed strategies that would be deployed in space and partially block the Earth from the sun, such as launching a giant, tethered shield shade between them, or periodically blasting moon dust into space.

A new computer model mimics Moon dust so well that it could lead to smoother and safer Lunar robot teleoperations.

Working with their industry partner, Thales Alenia Space in the UK, who has specific interest in creating working robotic systems for space applications, the team investigated a virtual version of regolith, another name for Moon dust.

However, it works best with small quantities of Moon dust.

"Then, we conducted a series of experiments -- half in a simulated environment, half in the real world -- to measure whether the virtual moon dust behaved the same as its real-world counterpart."
