A latest study published on the 23rd by Geochemical Perspectives Letters, a scientific journal published by the European Geochemical Society, pointed out that the moon formed 4.46 billion years ago, 40 million years earlier than previously thought. According to multiple media reports, in order to determine the formation time of the moon, researchers analyzed samples brought back from the lunar surface by astronauts between 1969 and 1972. These samples contained zircon crystals formed billions of years ago.
The researchers used the technology of "uranium-lead isotope dating", which means to calculate the formation time of the crystal by measuring the ratio of uranium and lead elements in the crystal. After analyzing the samples, researchers estimated that the moon is at least 4.46 billion years old. Scientists previously estimated that the moon is about 4.42 billion years old, and the new discovery advances the birth of the moon by 40 million years.
