We all know that moon has no atmosphere but at near the pole hematite (Iron oxide-Rust) is found by chandrayan-1 2008 mission by ISRO (INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANISATION) Shows the data
The blue colour show ice presents at the poles the red orange colour show that is hematite.
Hematite
Hematite is a oxides of iron generally rust. Rust is formed only when iron is reacted to oxygen and presence of moisture in air or water which leads to corrode
How hematite formed in Airless moon
Scientist believe that reason for rust is First Hydrogen ion in form of plasma from sun's solar wind act as a reducer in moons surface but when moon orbiting earth at point it crosses earth magnetotail in earth magnetism there may be possible for oxygen may expell from the atmosphere may have chance to react with moon surface it mostly oocur when earth and moon is completely face each other where earth blocks all the solar wind to moon at the time oxidation may happen
Another reason dust particles from space may have the chance for causing rusting with help of water present in poles
But scientists have researching how hematite ( iron oxide ) found at back side of the moon where it never faces earth,
