New Study Suggests Moon is 100 Million Years Older
A groundbreaking study claims the Moon may be over 100 million years older than previously believed, potentially reshaping our understanding of its origins. Researchers now suggest the Moon formed around 4.51 billion years ago, earlier than the long-held estimate of 4.35 billion years.
The study indicates that a significant "re-melting" event occurred as the Moon distanced itself from Earth, altering its surface and obscuring its true age. Experts believe this new timeline could resolve longstanding debates in planetary science regarding the Moon's formation. What do you think about these findings?
