New Study Reveals Meteorite Impacts Sustain Moon’s Tenuous Atmosphere
Aug 2, 2024, 06:02 PM
A new study has revealed that micrometeorite impacts have sustained the Moon’s thin, fragile atmosphere for eons. The research, involving samples from the Apollo missions, indicates that constant meteorite bombardment is responsible for producing most of the Moon's tenuous atmosphere. This discovery provides a new plot twist to the origin story of the Moon, solving the mystery of its 'tenuous' atmosphere. The study, published by Science Advances on August 2, 2024, and involving scientists from MIT, highlights the significant role of meteorite impacts in maintaining the Moon’s atmosphere.
