Electrostatic dust charging and subsequent transport on the lunar surface due to direct exposure to the solar wind plasma and solar radiation is a more than five-decade-old problem. Dust activity has been suggested as an explanation for several lunar surface and near surface observations from the beginning of the Apollo era. Beyond the Moon, related observations indicate that this electrostatic process may be a universal phenomenon on airless bodies across the solar system.
