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...
