Using data from India’s Chandrayaan-1 mission, researchers discovered traces of hematite, a type of rust, on the Moon’s surface—something thought to be impossible due to the lack of oxygen and liquid water.

This video unpacks how particles from Earth’s atmosphere could be causing the Moon to rust, revealing an unexpected and fascinating connection between Earth and its only natural satellite.
