Man In The Moon Has 'Graphite Whiskers'Pasadena CA (JPL) Jul 02, 2010 In a new analysis of a lunar sample collected by Apollo 17, researchers have detected and dated carbon on the moon in the form of graphite - the sooty stuff of pencil lead - which survived from around 3.8 billion years ago, when the moon was heavily bombarded by meteorites. Up to now, scientists thought the trace amounts of carbon previously detected on the surface of the moon came from the solar wind. Some of the graphite revealed by the new study appeared in a rare rolled form known as "gr ... read more |
