Artist's imaging of the areas on the Moon (in red) where hints of hematite were found (Credit: Shuai Li/University of Hawaii)

Researchers have long been aware of the presence of rust, or hematite, on Mars caused by the chemical reaction between the iron ore on the planet's surface and water and oxygen from the ancient past. However, they had never expected to find the reddish-brown iron oxide on the Moon, given that our satellite is missing two of the three key components — moisture and oxygen. Now, a new study, based on recent data from India's Chandrayaan-1 Moon-orbiting spacecraft, suggests that the Moon is displaying signs of rust and it may be Earth's fault.

      Wow imagine the moon but red! THIS IS SOO COOL!!! I love learning about our world and what's around us, but it feels weird thinking about a red moon, because right now it's gray.
