To the surprise of many planetary scientists, the oxidized iron mineral hematite has been discovered at high latitudes on the Moon, according to a study published in Science Advances led by Shuai Li.

"Our hypothesis is that lunar hematite is formed through oxidation of lunar surface iron by the oxygen from the Earth's upper atmosphere that has been continuously blown to the lunar surface by solar wind when the Moon is in Earth's magnetotail during the past several billion years," said Li. (1)

We are the salt of the cosmos.

Making things rust.

Spreading death where life once was.

Hungry cosmos.

Devouring everything in its path.

Until there is nothing left.

Come.

Eat.

Thanks mom.

Stars dying.
