Michael Flores+FollowMoon Rock’s Secret: Older Than the Moon?!Scientists just cracked open a moon rock that’s been sealed since the ‘70s, and get this—inside they found sulfur that might be even older than the Moon itself! The wild part? This ancient dust could be leftovers from a planet-sized collision that created the Moon, or it could have formed when the Moon was just a molten ball. Either way, it’s rewriting what we thought we knew about our cosmic neighbor. Mind = blown. #Science #MoonMystery #SpaceDiscovery20Share
Michelle York+FollowJWST Just Spotted the Universe’s OG StarsThe James Webb Space Telescope might have finally found the universe’s very first stars—like, the literal OGs born right after the Big Bang! These ancient “Population III” stars are hiding out in a galaxy called LAP1-B, and their light has been traveling for 13 billion years to reach us. Thanks to some cosmic magnifying glass action (gravitational lensing), JWST got a peek at these super-old, super-massive stars. This could totally change what we know about how galaxies and stars first formed! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery10Share
