Moon Is Rusting: Scientists Stunned By Hematite Discovery On Lunar Surface
Understanding of rusting could impact future lunar missions, resource utilisation and equipment design.

Earth’s Oxygen Explains Mysterious Rust Formation on the Moon
Despite lacking air and water, the Moon hosts hematite—an oxidized iron mineral. Scientists discovered Earth’s escaping oxygen drives this rusting process during the Moon’s passage through the magnetotail. Observations from Chandrayaan-1 and NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter confirm hematite patches where Earth wind suppresses hydrogen an...

Earth's Slowing Rotation May Explain Rise Of Oxygen In Atmosphere, Study Finds
The study highlights how longer days allowed cyanobacteria to photosynthesise more oxygen because their activity depends not just on sunlight but on the timing of their metabolic processes.

Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...
