The video discusses two methods of studying solar wind: analyzing particles in moon dust and conducting exposure experiments during Apollo 11 and 12 missions. The Apollo 11 experiment involved collecting solar wind for 77 minutes using aluminum foil. A comparison of data from these methods reveals differences in isotopic ratios of elements like Neon and Xenon, which differ from Earth's, while Argon and Krypton are similar. These findings are intriguing and require further investigation.
