LIVE Techno – Accident asteroid from moon millions of years ago corresponded to the impact of a large space rock on Earth, including a large impact that it managed to annihilate dinosaur not avian.
The findings reveal that the greatest impacts during Earth’s prehistory were not isolated events, the site cites SpaceThursday 29 September 2022.
Instead, this asteroid attack was accompanied by a series of small impacts on both the earth and the moon, the surface of which is littered with more than 9,000 craters left by the impact of space rocks.
This research could help astronomers better understand the dynamics of the inner solar system and help calculate the likelihood of our planet being hit by potentially devastating massive space rocks in the future.
Scientists from Curtin University’s Center for Space Science and Technology (SSTC) in Australia got their results by studying microscopic glass beads in lunar soil samples returned to Earth by China’s Chang’e-5 lunar mission in 2020.
These tiny glass beads are created by the intense heat and pressure generated by the meteorite blast. That is, the researchers were able to reconstruct the timeline of the lunar bombardment by evaluating the age of these pearls.
In doing so, the SSTC team found that the timing and frequency of asteroid impacts on the moon are mirrored by space rock attacks on Earth, meaning that the team’s timeline can also provide insight into the evolution of the moon. our planet.
