There's No Wind on the Moon, So How Dust Shift and Swirl so Quickly?

"Lunar swirls" are one of the Moon's many fascinating mysteries. These are reflective patterns on the surface of the Moon that shift and change over time. It was initially believed to result from magnetic particles in the solar wind interacting with the lunar surface. Another possibility is that lunar dust levitates off the Moon, shifting to new locations and depositing again. A new study suggests that there's no single explanation, that a combination of factors is working together to cause these movements.
