Scientists propose a 'remelting' of the Moon's surface 4.35 billion years ago due to the tidal pull of Earth causing widespread geological upheaval and intense heating. Much about the Moon remains ...

They propose that around 4.35 billion years ago, the Moon underwent a “remelting” due to Earth’s tidal pull, causing significant geological activity and intense heating. This remelting could have ...

In an "idea paper" published on December 18 in Nature, UC Santa Cruz Professor Francis Nimmo and his co-authors propose a possible explanation for this discrepancy: that the Moon underwent a ...

They propose that around 4.35 billion years ago, the Moon experienced a “remelting” event caused by Earth’s tidal pull, which triggered significant geological activity and intense heating. This ...

They say this remelting would have "reset" the age of the lunar rocks —masking the Moon’s true age with what could be likened to a volcanic facelift. “We predict that there shouldn't be any ...

The moon may be much older than previously thought, according to a new study. Planetary scientists believe the moon's surface may have "remelted" around 4.35 billion years ago, masking much older ...

Scientists have shown that a "remelting event" more than 4.3 billion years ago "reset" the internal clock of most lunar rocks, which has helped obscure the moon's true age. When you purchase ...

The Moon is Earth’s most reliable partner in space, having orbited our world for around 4.5 billion years—nearly as long as our planet has existed. But new analysis of crystals from the Moon ...

The true age of the moon just became a little clearer. In a new study, scientists show how a massive "remelting event" may have reset the age of almost all lunar rocks, tricking scientists into ...

The moon, Earth's only permanent natural satellite, may seem mundane but has a huge influence on our planet and human culture. There have been a number of studies about the moon and its lunar ...
