NASA-like crater Copernicus Reconaissance Lunar Orbiter spacecraft photographed.
Scientists from China and the United States has conducted studies that revealed that the Moon has an alien mineral. That is not the minerals belong to the aliens but because of collisions experienced by a month so the minerals minerals from asteroids and other celestial objects on the moon.
Minerals such as spinel and olivine, which is a mineral found in asteroids in the solar system can be found at the bottom of the crater on the Moon. As in the bottom of the crater Copernicus, and Thyco Theophylus. Spinel and olivine minerals were never found on the surface of the moon.
The study did modeling the formation of craters on the moon by the impact of asteroids. Modeling to look at the effect of speed on impact craters and large mineral deposits. The study was led by Zhong Yue from the Institute of Remote Sensing Application, Chinese Academy of Science.
The study also found that 25 percent of the data of the asteroid that crashed into the moon come up with high-speed, 43 130 km / h or less able. Unusually rapid pace that it was not able to sink the asteroid on the lunar surface.
Other stimulation showed that the speed of 43 130 km / h time of the asteroid impact make mineral evaporate and stay at the bottom of the crater impact. It is assumed if formed craters up to 20 kilometers the materials / spinel and olivine minerals will accumulate in the bottom of the crater.
Of stimulation has concluded that the mineral spinel and olivine in the bottom of the crater in the crater Copernicus did not come from the moon but of the asteroid that crashed into the moon. Copernicus crater width is 93 kilometers.
Previous analysis states that foreign mineral base layer in the crater comes from the inside, because the process of making an asteroid collision with the moon come out layer. It turns out the previous assumption was denied by Jay Melosh of Purdue University who was also involved in the research. So that the researchers could not use bottom of the crater to study the layers of the month.
The latest study also makes some interesting assumptions believed by researchers that at the beginning of the process of the formation of Earth, celestial objects striking the Earth is able to release the material earth into space. The material is believed to be up to the moon with a speed of 2 kilometers per second. Assumptions are addressed by Erik Aspaug Stae University of Arizona who says that it is possible that such material could be derived from the spinel material earth in the past are thrown into space due to collision with meteroid. Assumption is more interesting is the material allegations of the early life of the earth to the moon also thrown through a similar mechanism.
needed further research related to the analysis and the assumptions that continue to evolve.
