Scientists have developed an energy source which could allow astronauts to live on the Moon for long periods of time.
The Nasa-led Artemis Program hopes for an outpost on the Moon by around 2030.
Bangor University has designed nuclear fuel cells, the size of poppy seeds, to produce the energy needed to sustain life there.
Prof Simon Middleburgh from the university said the work was a challenge - "but it was a fun one".

"In a BBC article, 'Moon base: Bangor scientists design fuel to live in space ', Professor Simon Middleburgh spoke about the work being carried out by the team. The research will make space travel both safer and more efficient, using remote technologies and supplies found in space to sustain astronauts and spacecraft."
