The Dhaka Times Desk How old is the silver moon in the black night sky? Scientists are yet to figure out the exact age of this satellite, which is called the uncle of children and the lover of lovers. However, the results of recent studies have shown that the age of the moon is at least 100 million years less than the age of the satellite that was considered for so long.
Scientists have learned the most about the Moon since the advent of space science. They have even made a credible theory about its origin. But the moon has been able to hide its exact age from scientists until now. Until now, it was thought that the origin of the moon was almost at the same time as the origin of the earth. That is, the Earth and the Moon are almost the same age. But scientists in London have found that the Moon is 100 million years younger than Earth. According to this calculation, the age of the eternally youthful moon is present 4.4 to 4.45 billion years. Geochemists involved in the research Richard Carlson On Monday at the Royal Society in London, they reached this conclusion by analyzing the moon rocks collected by the Apollo spacecraft.
According to the most plausible theory about the origin of the Moon, a moving body about the size of Mars struck the Earth during the formation of the Earth. A part of the earth is separated by that impact, but the ball of gravity keeps rotating around the earth. Later it gradually cools down and forms a satellite. This satellite is our moon.
