Our Moon

[guohua]

With age, one certainty remains. We know nothing. Or barely.

Here's a good explanation though, from researcher in Hawaii:

“When I examined the M3 data at the polar regions, I found some spectral features and patterns are different from those we see at the lower latitudes or the Apollo samples,” said Li. “I was curious whether it is possible that there are water-rock reactions on the Moon. After months of investigation, I figured out I was seeing the signature of hematite.”

The team found that the locations where hematite is present are strongly correlated with water content at high latitude Li and others found previously and are more concentrated on the nearside, which always faces the Earth.

“This discovery will reshape our knowledge about the Moon’s polar regions,” said Li. “Earth may have played an important role on the evolution of the Moon’s surface.”

Earth MAY have played an important role..

Here's the link to the article from University of Hawaii. Title with a question mark. Meaning...not sure, no clue...might, could have, if, sounds like... lol


Has Earth’s oxygen rusted the Moon for billions of years?


Cool nonetheless.

From your Link.

“Our hypothesis is that lunar hematite is formed through oxidation of lunar surface iron by the oxygen from the Earth’s upper atmosphere that has been continuously blown to the lunar surface by solar wind when the Moon is in Earth’s magnetotail during the past several billion years,” said Li.

OK, so they are says the earth's is blowing our Atmosphere towards the moon!!!!!   PLEAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZE!
