OREANDA-NEWS Determining the exact age of the Earth satellite is important, because then scientists can find out how the Earth has developed in different eras.

Scientists who have studied samples of lunar soil obtained during the Apollo missions reported that they applied chemical analysis to the samples they received — this helped them to know the age of the earth satellite.

It turned out that 50 million years after the formation of the Solar System, Moon began to harden, on the basis of this, it turns out that it is much older than scientists previously thought. More specifically, the results of this study differ from the previous by 100 million years.

Actually, a new study shows that Moon was formed 4.51 billion years ago.
