With new analysis, Apollo samples brought to Earth in 1972 reveal exotic sulfur hidden in moon's mantle
When astronauts returned from NASA's final Apollo moon mission in 1972, some of the samples they collected were sealed and carefully stored away in the hope that future researchers using advanced equipment might analyze them and make new discoveries.

Lunar Samples Returned by Apollo 17 Contain Anomalous Sulfur, New Analysis Shows
The leading hypotheses for the origin of the Moon call for a giant impact event between proto-Earth and a separate impactor called Theia. The efficiency of mixing material among these two planetary bodies remains a subject of debate. Inefficient mixing during this process could leave behind remnants of the composition of the proto-Earth and/or Theia. […] The post Lunar Samples Returned by Apollo 17 Contain Anomalous Sulfur, New Analysis Shows ap…
Moon rocks from 1972 reveal chemical secrets that don’t match Earth
When astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt returned from NASA’s Apollo 17 mission in 1972, they carried with them a treasure trove of lunar rocks and soil. Some of these samples were sealed away immediately, untouched for decades, waiting for the day when scientists would have the tools to study them in greater detail. That […] The post Moon rocks from 1972 reveal chemical secrets that don’t match Earth appeared first on Knowridge Science …
