But how did it end up being this pure in most parts of the Moon? The secondary event that explains it, notes the report, is what researchers are calling a crustal overturn. Old impure plagioclase was replaced by hot, pure plagioclase as the moon cooled rapidly. Asteroid hits, space dust, and other harsh space conditions could have also sheared away the surface impurities, notes the report.
For the last few billion years the Moon's gravity has been raising tides in Earth's oceanswhich the fast spinning Earth attempts to drag ahead of the sluggishly orbiting Moon. The result is that the Moon is being pushed away from Earth by 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) per year and our planet's rotation is slowing. If left unabated the Moon would continue in its retreat until it would take bout 47 days to orbit the Earth.
