Data from the #ISRO has revealed that the Earth’s natural satellite Moon might be rusting. The new research suggests that the moon is turning slightly red, indicating the formation of a reddish-black mineral form of iron named hematite on its surface, particularly at the poles.
The formation of rust or iron oxide can be attributed to the presence of two key elements—water and oxygen—when they come in contact with iron.
