The moon was formed 4.36 billion years ago

According to the latest research by Carnegie Science Institute, published in the journal Nature of the United States on August 17, the Moon may be formed later than previous predictions of experts. .

According to the theory of the origin of the Moon, this planet was created by a strong collision between a large object and the original Earth.

The energy emitted from the impact is so strong that the Moon is formed from magma - slate in the ground - melting and dispersing in the universe. When the Moon cools, these magma condense into different mineral components. The analysis of the stone samples taken from the Moon helped scientists make new predictions about when the Moon was formed.

Scientists at the Carnegie Institute analyzed isotopes of lead and neodymium in a rock sample named Ferroan Anorthosite (FAN) that is considered to be the oldest existent stone on the Moon and confirmed. determined the time when the Moon formed - it was 4.36 billion years ago.

This figure is lower than previous calculations by scientists, suggesting that the Moon was formed at the same time as the Sun - that is 4.568 billion years ago.
