Water on the moon may originate from Earth

Water found in ancient rocks on the moon must have originated from the early Earth, and even survived in the birth of Ms. Hang.

That is the hypothesis of expert Jessica Barnes and colleagues from Open University (UK), who studied the volume of water present in apatite, a mixture of calcium phosphate in the moon sample that was brought to Earth in porcelain Destiny Apollo.

Barnes expert presented a new discovery during the European Planetary Science Conference in London earlier this week, according to Science World Report.

'Some of the oldest rocks we have in our hands today are moon rocks, and they are much older than the oldest rock patterns ever found on Earth' , according to experts. Barnes said.

So they are the most appropriate models in an attempt to understand the state of the moon's water as soon as it forms about 4.5 billion years ago, and to discover the origin of water in the Solar System.

Not only that, water locked inside the apatite mineral has traces of isotope very similar to water on Earth and some other meteorites, showing water in the Earth system - the moon is likely to have one. common origin.
