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.

    Honestly, the moon deserves more awareness articles like these. Our planet is extremely important, but the moon is too. This is the first article I've ever seen talking about whats happening to the moon. Whoever you are, thanks for writing this article, and thank you for reminding our future generations about taking care of things around us.

        There are people that say that will happen, but in the far future. (Like 3,654)

                  if there is an effective way that could fix this, that would be great. We cant just pick up the moon and put it in a container and soak it in vinegar!
