Zachary Gutierrez+FollowMoon Dust Just Changed EverythingChina’s Chang’e-6 mission brought back moon dust that’s hiding a wild secret: scientists found traces of a super-rare, water-rich meteorite never seen on the Moon before! These fragile CI chondrites usually don’t survive impacts, so finding them means ancient water-filled asteroids bombarded the Moon (and probably Earth) way more than we thought. Basically, this tiny dust is rewriting what we know about how water—and maybe life—got here. Space history in a handful of grains! #Science #MoonDiscovery #SpaceScience20Share
megangibson+FollowNeutrinos Just Flipped Carbon—Seriously!Scientists just caught solar neutrinos turning carbon into nitrogen for the first time ever! Using a detector buried deep in a Canadian mine, they spotted these ghostly particles from the Sun making a rare atomic switch. Only a handful of these events happened over a year, but it’s a huge deal for understanding how the universe works at its tiniest level. Who knew the Sun was sending us such wild science? #Science #Neutrinos #SpaceScience10Share
Michael Flores+FollowMoon’s Wild Origin Story Just Got JuicierTurns out, the Moon’s not just a pretty face—it’s the aftermath of a cosmic smash-up! Scientists just figured out that the object (Theia) that crashed into Earth and created the Moon was a mini-planet from our own solar neighborhood, probably even closer to the sun than us. By analyzing moon rocks and isotopes, they pieced together this wild ancient drama. Without that lucky collision, we might not even have seasons or stable climates. Space is messy, but wow, it’s fascinating! #Science #MoonMystery #SpaceScience13Share
