Kordylewski clouds: Earth's Ghost Moons at L4 and L5

Two vast, dust-based 'ghost moons' lurking near Earth's L4 and L5—the Kordylewski clouds—are real, dynamic structures rather than solid bodies. We trace their controversial history from 1961 sightings to the 2018 polarization confirmation, explain why they’re so hard to see, and explore how their gravitationally stable locations could become low-energy staging points for future space missions. We’ll also discuss what we still need to learn to map, monitor, and safely operate in these enigmatic clouds.
