A new investigation into rust on the Moon implicates Earth as the culprit. Oxygen leaking out of Earth is likely responsible for the transformation of iron to hematite (Fe 2 O 3) at the lunar poles.

Scientists have discovered traces of rust minerals on the Moon's surface. The Moon has iron, but no liquid water or oxygen, so rust shouldn't be possible. A new theory suggests that the Moon gets ...

A new study published in Science Advances by lead author, Shuai Li, found that hematite – a form of rust – was discovered on the Moon. Rust is made up of iron, oxygen, and water – the latter two ...

Iron is well-known for rusting, but this doesn't just happen on contact with oxygen and water. Some bacteria are also able to able to decompose iron anaerobically in a process referred to as ...

The moon is rusting. Earth's moon. It's rusting. Scientists have discovered hematite, a common iron-oxide (rust) mineral, forming at the lunar poles. Rust is a common chemical reaction found on Earth ...

This image of the moon is from NASA's Moon Mineralogy Mapper on the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 mission. It is a three-color composite of reflected near-infrared radiation from ...

A type of rust that requires oxygen and water to form has been discovered on the lunar surface, puzzling scientists who discovered it as the moon has neither oxygen or liquid water. Researchers led by ...

Humanity’s fleet of robotic explorers peppered throughout the solar system continue to reveal new and exciting pieces of information regarding other members of the Sun’s stellar family. New research ...

A recent paper by Science Advances reviewed the data given by Indian Space Research Organization's very own Chandrayaan-1 orbiter that previously discovered water ice and also mapped out a significant ...
