When the Apollo astronauts landed on the moon, they were preparing to face a lifeless barren land, surprised to find the surface covered in orange glass beads. Small grains, small, spacious volcanic explosions as a pencil tip are left more than 3.5 billion years ago. The rain -shaped beads were made from melted droplets that touched during blazing explosions and then cooled into the frigid vacuum of the moon. Such glass beads are safe in the windless, shelter moon storms. They have been reconsidered again with forward-fashioned devices, and were bright and filled with color with a world’s bright, violent graphical bullet points.
Moon’s ancient glass pear
As recent Analysis published in Universe Today, from a team of scientists Washington university And in other places, high-resolution electron microscopy and ion beam techniques were employed to analyze the mineral content of apollo-era samples, including a well-preserved record of lunar volcanic eruptions and related explosions style, temperature and chemical environment.
The pearls range from the bright black to the mat dull red and vibrant orange, and they show different explosions on the surface of the moon and the position of the magma source. Some papers demonstrate rapid lava cooling, while others indicate the so -called magma residence time. The surfaces of the beads contain isotopic data, and this information holds a clue for the melted interior of the moon, which dating 3.3–3.6 billion years ago, as it began to develop for the first time.
This is because each bead is a testimony that is not for a dramatic volcanic phenomenon, but with each bead, there is a journal entry written about that phenomenon, long ago, back in our lunar volcanic days. “If we can date when that volcano is, we can start collecting the history that was oriented like the moon, its history and what was happening,” he says, “he says,” not only in the Moon, but it is normally implications for the history of the planets; we can do it elsewhere. Solar system,
Proposed tools for NASA’s Artemis Mission The moon will continue to search and will search for more bead samples and other samples varieties and enable the better understanding of the lunar volcanic records, rewrite lunar geology and change the scientific ideas of the history of the universe.
