Bizarre Discovery Reveals the Moon Is Rusting
Here’s a wild one: scientists found out that the Moon is rusting! Rust usually happens when metal reacts with water and oxygen, but the Moon doesn’t have much of either. So, how’s this happening? Turns out, tiny amounts of oxygen from Earth’s atmosphere are traveling to the Moon, thanks to solar wind. Combine that with a bit of water from ice trapped in Moon rocks, and voilà—rust starts forming! It’s super weird because the Moon is supposed to be too dry and airless for this. This bizarre discovery just shows how Earth and the Moon are connected in unexpected ways!
