Scientists have a collection of moon rocks whose age they can measure.

The oldest rocks are all about 4.35 billion years old, which is roughly 200 million years after the birth of the solar system.

The moon's formation must have happened earlier than the rocks' age.

Overcoming this language barrier is hard. Our study is an example of how—sometimes—bridging that linguistic and scientific divide can benefit researchers on both sides.
