The Earth's moon, despite lacking the necessary conditions for rust formation, has been found to contain hematite, an oxidized iron mineral. This discovery suggests that Earth may be sending oxygen to the moon, particularly during the full moon phase when the moon enters and exits Earth's magnetic tail. This oxygen, combined with water molecules on the lunar surface, creates rust. The Earth's magnetic tail also blocks solar winds, which carry hydrogen that would otherwise prevent rust formation. This process has been sufficient to generate the hematite observed on the moon over millions of years.
