Aliens on the MOON? Breakthrough as scientists discover OXYGEN on Earth's satellite. Solar winds are blasting oxygen from the Earth to the Moon in what could be a major breakthrough for finding life elsewhere than our planet.
Could aliens be on the moon?
On Earth, oxygen is, along with water, one of the key ingredients to life.
Researchers have now discovered that during a five-day period of each month, the Moon is showered with oxygen ions from Earth.
During a short period of each month, the Moon passes through the Earth’s magnetosphere – the magnetic shield which protects us from radiation, something that the Moon does not have.
Solar flares release particles that stream out into space
Astrophysicist Kentaro Terada from Osaka University in Japan told EOS: "Our new finding suggests that the Earth-Moon system coevolves not only physically but also chemically.”

The research from Terado and could go towards explaining the Moon’s rocks chemical composition.

However, the discovery that it picks up oxygen ions from Earth goes towards explaining the imbalance.
"Maybe some portion is implanted on the Moon, and some portion is lost into interplanetary space."
