The comet's time " provides " the Moon with water around the early stages of the Moon's formation.

Scientists led by Professor James Greenwood of Wesleyan University, Connecticut (USA) have discovered lava on the surface of the moon containing a substance called apatite stone - a substance with " water- loving" properties .

Through the isotope test of hydrogen the scientists discovered " age " that the apatite composition of the lunar surface resembles the " age " of the composition of the three apatite rocks on the comet. before.

Based on the " earth-shattering " theoretical model, scientists believe that the Moon after being separated from the Sun, the comet " provided " the Moon with water.

" Earth-shattering " is one of the few major theories regarding the theory of the Moon's formation. The basic view of this theory is that about 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized object collided with the Earth and formed the Moon today.
