@trefoil 🙂 The Moon is actual made of rocky material, much like the rocks we have on Earth. For example, volcanic rocks called basalts are found on both the Moon and the Earth. — PolitiTweet.org

@leavenswr We don't know what the biggest asteroid or comet to have hit the Moon is, but the Moon does have a large (~2500 km) impact basin near its south pole called the South Pole-Aitken basin. The impactor that created this basin could have been around ~200 km in diameter. — PolitiTweet.org

@KSimm05 Rusting occurs on the Moon under specific conditions, like the presence of hematite, oxygen (which is rare to find in stable form on the Moon), and shielding from the solar wind. Scientists are very interested in understanding the story behind this stable oxygen. — PolitiTweet.org
