While the moon might not look like a fertile field, it is capable of producing plant life. That’s according to a recent study by University of Florida scientists who have successfully grown plants in soil collected from the moon. In the study, researchers planted the seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana — a plant related to mustard greens, as well as other cruciferous vegetables such as brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower — in lunar soil (also known as regolith), which was sampled directly from the moon from missions Apollo 11, 12 and 17.
