We’re Leaving Our Mark on the Moon—Literally

Turns out, humans aren’t just changing Earth—we’re officially messing with the Moon, too. Scientists say we’ve kicked off a whole new era up there, called the “lunar Anthropocene.” Our rockets, rovers, and even space junk are now leaving permanent scars on the lunar surface. From Apollo footprints to future mining plans, our cosmic trash is piling up, and some experts want to start protecting these lunar landmarks before we totally wreck them. Wild, right? #Science #LunarAnthropocene #SpaceJunk
