Rust Found on the Moon! Earth Wind Might Be the Reason

WooGlobe

The Moon is mysteriously rusting — and scientists believe Earth might be the cause. Even though the Moon lacks oxygen and water, India’s Chandrayaan-1 mission discovered hematite, a type of rust, on its surface. So how is this possible?  New research reveals that during part of the lunar cycle, the Moon is exposed to “Earth wind” — charged particles from Earth’s atmosphere that may be triggering the rusting process. But here’s the twist — some particles can create rust, while others can erase it!  This unexpected discovery not only explains the presence of lunar rust, but also suggests a deep, ongoing connection between Earth and the Moon.

00:00The moon is rusting, and Earth might be the one to blame.

00:03But how can rust form where there's no oxygen or water?

00:07Back in 2020, India's Chandrayaan-1 mission made a shocking discovery.

00:11Hematite, or rust, on the moon.

00:14That was strange because rust needs oxygen and water,

00:17and the moon has almost none of either.

00:19So what's going on?

00:20Here's the twist.

00:22Scientists believe the Earth is sending rust-making particles to the moon.

00:25During a five-day window each lunar cycle,

00:28Earth blocks the moon from the sun.

00:30And in that time, the moon is bombarded by particles from Earth's atmosphere.

00:34This is called earthwind.

00:36These earthwinds carry oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen ions.

00:40And when oxygen hits iron on the moon's surface, rust begins to form.

00:44But it's not that simple.

00:46Hydrogen ions can also reverse the rusting.

00:49It turns out, only the high-energy hydrogen can remove rust,

00:53while low-energy hydrogen from the sun has little effect.

00:56So the battle between rusting and unrusting depends on the type of particles Earth sends over.

01:02This surprising link shows Earth and the moon might be more connected than we thought.

01:06But many questions remain, and the answers may be waiting on the moon itself.

01:11After that was ....

01:21Seems like this approaching informative page,

01:23or have you explained,

01:26Time to shoot the earth09 from the Moon to the moon.

01:29There is so that peopleよし,
