Shocking Moon discovery: Earth's satellite 100M years older than previously thought

[Makuser]

The Apollo missions have had a lasting legacy on space exploration, most notably the Apollo 11 mission, which saw humanity walk on the Moon for the first time. But a new study extends the legacy of the Apollo missions into something much greater than walking on another celestial body — it suggests the Moon is far older than anyone thought.
Researchers analyzed the lunar rocks taken by the Apollo astronauts and they now believe the Moon is approximately 100 million years older than previously thought, having likely formed 50 million years after the solar system itself did, 4.56 billion years ago.

100 million years sounds like a big deal. But the equally accurate headline, "Moon about two percent older than previously thought" would not have gotten as many clicks.
Still interesting.
