Indian scientists have found rust on the surface of the moon.
According to the statement, such an event is often observed on the surface of the Earth and Mars, but was first detected on the Moon.
Scientists have discovered a number of minerals on the surface of the Earth's natural satellite, including iron oxide or hematite, formed by the reaction of iron, oxygen and water. However, water on the Moon exists only in the form of ice and in very small quantities.
According to researchers, the rust was caused by the solar wind on the Moon.
It has been speculated that meteorites may fall on the moon from time to time. It is noted that meteorites affect the release of water molecules on the surface of the satellite, and then a chemical reaction begins.
