An ancient piece of the moon was found in Africa, and it may have melted part of the Moon’s surface while Earth’s earliest life was beginning to emerge

A lunar meteorite found in Africa offers a rare glimpse into our solar system’s violent past.

This ancient impact, along with similar events on Earth and an asteroid, suggests a widespread bombardment period crucial for understanding early life’s emergence.
