How old is the moon? New study reveals the moon's actual age is 100 million years older than previously thought

A new study suggests the moon is 4.51 billion years old, 100 million years older than previously thought. This revised age is based on the re-melting of lunar rocks due to Earth's gravitational pull, not the moon's initial formation. The finding challenges previous assumptions and offers new insights into the early solar system's evolution.
