Sulfuric surprise: Scientists uncover clues of ancient moon formation in Apollo 17 samples
SMRTR summary
Scientists at Brown University discovered unusual sulfur isotopes in sealed Apollo 17 moon samples that differ completely from anything found on Earth, suggesting the moon's surface may still contain remnants from Theia, the Mars-sized object that collided with Earth billions of years ago. This breakthrough, made possible by analyzing 50-year-old pristine samples with modern techniques, provides new evidence about how our moon formed.
