This will give science new clues about how the Earth was formed.
“When the Apollo 14 astronauts brought a specimen of the Moon back to Earth, they didn’t expect it to be an Earth Dawn artifact,” CNN wrote.
48 years ago, between January 31 and February 6, 1971, Apollo 14 completed its mission to conquer the moon. They bring back a boulder and hope they can successfully analyze it, giving some insight into the formation of this planet.
But surprisingly, the specimen included quartz, rosemary, and leprosy – elements very similar to rocks on Earth. Then, the analysis of the rock formation temperature and the oxygen density gave the same results.
Given the date, scientists believe that the rock formed 4 to 4.1 billion years ago; lies 20 km below the Earth’s surface. Coincidentally, the Earth was still “young” then – in its infancy.
Why is that? Why are rocks on the Moon exactly the same as rocks on Earth? Coincidence or what?
This assumption is not correct. Because if a rock forms on the Moon, it will reflect other parameters of temperature and composition. In addition, compared to other specimens found on Ms. Hang’s whereabouts, the stone is also very different, completely an “alien”.
The new question arises: Why does a rock travel from Earth to the Moon, given that it is deep underground and not offshore? And at this time, remember that there are no humans with great inventions.
Indeed, all the power of nature. Scientists assume that Earth collided with a star that dug up the surface hundreds of kilometers away. And the special stone must also come out.
Then a comet or small wafer collided with Earth again and threw the rock up into the atmosphere, causing it to soar towards the Moon – which was three times closer to Earth than it is today. .
A trip through the atmosphere 3.9 billion years ago led to a rocky landing on the Moon but melting. Then it freezes again and forms a “new rock” – the main ingredient remains the same as the slight mixture of impurities on the Moon. This whole process takes place at the dawn of the solar system – a period that astronomers call the “great fire of fire”.
The rock lay silently for billions of years until 1971, when astronauts found it, picked it up, and brought it back to Earth.
To prove their hypothesis, scientists at NASA looked for other rocks on the Moon, to see if they came from Earth or not. The results were quite good: they did not have enough evidence to conclude but could also refute their hypothesis. Thus, until now, a rock found on the Moon belongs to the Earth, and is dated to the oldest in the world.
To David Kring and his colleagues at NASA, this hypothesis sounds incredible but … quite believable. They argued that Earth was the subject of intense contact with asteroids during the days of the Fire Federation. With the discovery of the ancient stone, science hopes to learn more about the process of the formation of the Earth.
