The currently most widely accepted theory about the Moon’s origins is the “giant-impact” theory. It proposes that the Moon was created by Earth colliding with another planet.The Moon has always been a topic of interest for humans. But it wasn’t until Galileo’s time that researchers started to study it seriously. Throughout the course of nearly five hundred years, researchers have proposed a variety of, highly contested ideas as to how the Moon was formed.
Will and the team found that the glass particles still had helium and neon chemical fingerprints from the Moon’s interior. Their results provide compelling evidence that the Moon inherited the gases indigenous to the Earth. “Finding solar gases, for the first time, in basaltic materials from the Moon that are unrelated to any exposure on the lunar surface was such an exciting result,” says Will.
Without the protection of an atmosphere, asteroids constantly pelted the Moon’s surface. It likely took a high-energy impact to eject the meteorites from the middle layers of the lava flow similar to the vast plains known as the Lunar Mare. Eventually, the rock fragments made their way to Earth in the form of meteorites.
The Tom Dooley is so sensitive that it is, in fact, the only instrument on Earth capable of detecting such minimal concentrations of helium and neon. It was used to detect these noble gases in the 7 billion years old grains in the Murchison meteorite – the oldest known solid matter to date.Knowing where to look inside NASA’s vast collection of some 70,000 approved meteorites represents a major step forward.
