New research suggests that Earth's atmosphere has been gradually leaking particles, including water and nitrogen, to the Moon over billions of years, facilitated by Earth's magnetic field, which acts more like a guiding rail than a shield. These particles are preserved in lunar soil, creating a long-term archive of Earth's atmospheric history and potentially providing resources for future lunar exploration.
