\n A new study suggests that the moon is a lot younger than initially believed.<\/p>\n

Earth\u2019s natural satellite is 4.425 billion years old, some 85 million years younger than the 4.51 billion years, according to researchers from the German Aerospace Center. The new age is based on the researchers reexamining the timeline of when the moon first formed.<\/p>\n

Researchers have long believed the moon formed as a result of a cosmic collision between an Earth that was still forming and another planetoid, commonly known as Theia.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom this, the Moon was formed in a short time, probably in just a few thousand years,\u201d one of the study\u2019s co-authors, Doris Breuer, Head of the Planetary Physics Department at the DLR Institute of Planetary Research, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The researchers also noted that the moon had a magma ocean.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time that the age of the moon can be directly linked to an event that occurred at the very end of the Earth\u2019s formation, namely the formation of the core,\u201d Thorsten Kleine, a professor at the Institute of Planetology at the University of M\u00fcnster in Germany, added in the statement.<\/p>\n

In an effort to find the 85-million-year gap, the researchers used mathematical models to come up with the moon\u2019s composition throughout its history, using the magma ocean as a base.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy comparing the measured composition of the moon\u2019s rocks with the predicted composition of the magma ocean from our model, we were able to trace the evolution of the ocean back to its starting point, the time at which the moon was formed,\u201d study co-author Sabrina Schwinger, added.<\/p>\n

The study has been published in Science<\/a> Advances.<\/p>\n

The moon has been a source of fascination for humanity for eons and since the Apollo space missions of the mid-20th-century, humanity\u2019s knowledge about our celestial satellite has increased significantly.<\/p>\n

Scientists recently learned that the moon loses water when meteoroids smack its surface, according to a study published in March 2019.<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s ARTEMIS mission also revealed that solar winds greatly impact the lunar surface and expose it to radiation from the Sun, leaving scars on the surface, akin to a \u201csunburn,\u201d due to the moon\u2019s weak magnetic field.<\/p>\n

A separate study published in August 2019 suggested the moon was 100 million years older than previously believed, basing their findings on analyzing the lunar rocks taken by the Apollo astronauts.<\/p>\n

A study published in January 2019 suggested that a 4.1-billion-year-old chunk of Earth may have been found and dug up on the moon by Apollo astronauts.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
