Mylar Insulation Proposed to Shield Moon Habitats from Extreme Temperatures

Original: Scientists are exploring layered Mylar insulation as a way to protect Moon habitats from extreme thermal swings - a mate

Scientists are investigating layered Mylar insulation as a way to protect future Moon habitats from the lunar surface's extreme thermal swings, where temperatures can differ by roughly 250 degrees between day and night. The multi-layer reflective material could offer a lightweight solution for keeping crewed structures stable on the Moon.

Why now: Renewed interest in lunar exploration and upcoming crewed missions is driving attention to practical habitat engineering solutions.
