Airless moon gets rusted near poles chandrayan-1 mission shows

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,

Interstellar Movie Mann's planet Frozen clouds explained

In the movie when the crew descend to Mann's planet the ranger scrap the edge of an ice clouds. These clouds are largely frozen "Dry ice"(solid form of carbon-di-oxide) the reason why Mann's planet is too cold is, it orbiting the gargantua(black hole) at an over elongated path, the planet swings close(inward journey) around the gargantua and flies out to a large distance(outward journey) and come close around and flies out again, In the movie when the crew desecend to land Endurance is at extreme end of the orbit (outward journey) and after docking scene endurance comes closer to the gargantua; it shows that the Mann's planet mostly away from the accretion disk of gargantua; oribtary of Mann's planet around gargantua Mann's planet is cold and ...

How to calculate age of tree using ring without cutting

How to calculate age of tree using ring without cutting The rings in the trees are used to calculating the age of the trees and tells what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life. The light-colored rings represent wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings represent wood that grew in the late summer and fall. One light ring plus one dark ring equals one year of the tree’s life. The color and width of tree rings can provide snapshots of past climate conditions. For example, tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and they are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced stressful conditions, such as a drought, the tree might hardly grow at all in those years Calculating the age of the tree without cutting The age of the tree can be calculated without cutting the tree with the help of an instrument called Increment borer this instrument is bored into the tree up to the centre and ...
