The Moon is Rusting. It's the Earth's Fault.

The video explores how Earth influences the formation of rust on the moon. Despite the moon's lack of atmosphere and magnetic field, hematite, a form of iron oxide, was discovered on its surface. The Earth's magnetotail provides oxygen ions and electrons, enabling chemical reactions that create rust. The solar wind also plays a role in water formation, which contributes to the rusting process. This interaction between Earth and the moon offers insights into Earth's ancient atmosphere.
