  • A study led by scientists at Northern Arizona University has highlighted clues to help in understanding the active lunar surface.
  • In the study, tiny iron-nanoparticles were found naturally on the Earth and have been found everywhere on the moon.
  • The Researchers have found that solar radiation is the more significant source of lunar iron nanoparticles than it was earlier thought.

Note

  • Asteroids as well as solar radiation break down the lunar rocks and soil, which form iron nanoparticles.
  • These nanoparticles are detectable from the instruments on satellites orbiting around the moon.
