The shocking discovery of hematite on the Moon was made a few years ago. Hematite forms from the oxidation of iron, a process more commonly known as rusting. This mineral is found widely on Earth, but ...

The Moon is rusting — and it’s Earth’s fault. Scientists have found that oxygen particles blown from Earth to the Moon can turn lunar minerals into haematite, also known as rust. The discovery adds to ...

DURING the past few months the study of the chemical changes involved in the rusting of iron has been coming to the fore. In 1888 Crum Brown pointed out that iron remained free from rust in an ...

Scientists were surprised to notice that the Moon is rusting, a process that typically requires oxygen and water, both of which are scarce on the lunar body. According to Nature's report, Ziliang Jin, ...

Scientists have long puzzled over why rust exists on the Moon. Now, new research points to an unexpected culprit much closer to home: Earth itself. The findings raise fresh questions about how our ...

Archaeologists have made a groundbreaking discovery at the 3,000-year-old Kvemo Bolnisi site in southern Georgia, shedding ...

Lunar Haematite discovery: How rust forms on the Moon Haematite forms ... similar to those found on the lunar surface. The experiments produced compelling results. Oxygen ions caused the iron minerals ...

Scientists have found rust on the Moon. This discovery is surprising because the Moon lacks oxygen and water. Researchers believe oxygen from Earth's atmosphere travels to the Moon. This happens when ...

From a chance encounter to countless lessons in art and life, a glimpse into the warmth and wit of the man who painted beauty ...

Rust is a natural process — the refined iron is essentially trying to return to its original oxidized, stable state: iron ore.
