Chandrayaan-1 orbiter data shows Moon rusting at poles
short by Aishwarya / on Friday, 4 September, 2020
ISRO's Chandrayaan-1 orbiter data review has given the evidence of the Moon having rust at its poles. Scientists suggested Earth's magnetotail has a mediating effect on the hydrogen, which prevents rust from occurring, being delivered by the solar wind on the Moon. The magnetotail also helps carry Earth's upper atmosphere oxygen to the Moon that helps the formation of rust.
