The Moon, our ancient companion, might be older than we think. While lunar rocks suggest an age of 4.35 billion years, new ...

What were once thought to be traces of the Moon's formation are remnants from a 're-melting' event, research indicates.

In an "idea paper" published on December 18 in Nature, UC Santa Cruz Professor Francis Nimmo and his co-authors propose a ...

Heat from tidal forces remelted the Moon’s crust, says new reesarch, which may explain why the Moon is older than some ...

The evolution of the lunar dynamo is crucial for understanding the moon's deep interior structure, thermal history, and ...

Our rocky satellite's real age is concealed by a "remelting" event that caused its surface to liquify, distorting the story ...

In addition to powering Io’s volcanism, this tidal energy is believed to support a global subsurface magma ocean. However, the extent and depth of this ocean remains the subject of debate ...

Sure enough, the samples appeared to have crystallized from a lunar magma ocean thought to have formed after impact. The samples placed the Moon's age at 4.35 billion years old. But this would ...

Evidence to support an older age for the formation of the Moon, around 4.51 billion years ago, as per a paper published in the journal Nature. This new analysis suggests that a ‘remelting ...

Scientists propose a 'remelting' of the Moon's surface 4.35 billion years ago due to the tidal pull of Earth causing widespread geological upheaval and intense heating. Much about the Moon remains ...
