These nearly invisible crystals could rewrite what we know about the early Solar System

Moon impact 3.5 billion years ago reveals hidden Solar System history through tiny mineral grains. The discovery shows asteroid bombardment continued long after the Late Heavy Bombardment period. Researchers found baddeleyite crystals inside lunar meteorite NWA 12593, dated nearly 3.486 billion years old. The evidence connects impacts on the Moon, Earth, and Vesta, offering new clues about early life conditions.
