Specifically, in the last 13 years, there have been over a half-dozen spacecraft that are dedicated, wholly or in part, to the study of this neutral, ionized, and particulate atmosphere at the Moon. A key finding is that all three of these phenomena are inter-connected, and suggest the term 'exosphere' can be extended to particulates and surface-emitted plasma like reflected protons and exo-ions...
