SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 154 * The Moon's Age: A New Perspectiv e New research suggests the Moon may be much older than previously believed. Evidence indicates the Moon's crust underwent extensive remelting around 4.35 billion years ago, obscuring its true age. This study proposes the Moon could be as old as 4.53 billion years, challenging past estimates and offering a new understanding of its formation. * Perseverance Rover's New Horizons NASA's Perseverance rover has reached the top of Jezero Crater's rim, marking a significant milestone in its mission. With the climb complete, the rover is set to explore new geological terrains, potentially uncovering some of the oldest rocks in the solar system. This new phase promises to deepen our understanding of Mars' ancient history. * Unveiling South Australia's Pink Sands Mystery The discovery of deep pink sands on South Australian beaches has provided insights into the tectonic history of the region. These findings, published in Communications Earth and Environment, suggest the existence of an ancient Antarctic mountain range, offering clues about the geological past of the supercontinent Gondwana. 00:00 This is space Time Series 27, Episode 154 for broadcast on 23 December 2024 00:47 New research suggests Earth's moon may be an awful lot older than previously thought 07:05 NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has completed its long climb to summit 10:51 Deep pink sands washing up on South Australian beaches reveal previously unknown mountain range 19:05 Garnets are a metamorphic mineral which grows when deep in crust 20:51 Ambulance and taxi drivers have lowest death rate from Alzheimer's 22:57 New study finds men are quicker to buy drinks when women are scarce www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (https://www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com) www.bitesz.com (https://www.bitesz.com) 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn (https://www.bitesz.com/nordvpn) .
