Moon's Shattered Crust Could Shed Light on Earth Life's Origins

The moon's battered surface could help scientists understand how life first took root on Earth. Some parts of the moon were so heavily bombarded with small asteroids billions of years ago that the impacts completely shattered the upper crust there, a new study reports. "The whole process of generating pore space within planetary crusts is critically important in understanding how water gets into the subsurface," study lead author Jason Soderblom, a planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Instit
