The researchers assert that the Moon formed up to 180 million years earlier than previously thought and that a significant melting event reset the Moon's crystallization process.
They propose that the notion of a dated Moon is complicated due to a melting event 4.35 billion years ago, which reset the timeline of crystallization.
As the Moon moved further from Earth, the balance of gravitational influences shifted, leading to tidal heating events that have crucial implications for understanding the Moon's formation.
The study highlights the significance of the Laplace plane transition, a gravitational equilibrium that altered the Moon's orbit, contributing to its geological history.
