Scientists believe they could have pinpointed the age of the Moon's largest and oldest impact basin to over 4.32 billion years ago. Like Earth, the Moon has been struck by numerous asteroids and comets, creating craters and basins. However, determining the exact timing of these impacts, especially the age of the Moon's oldest and largest basin, has been challenging - until now. A tea

The overall deficit expanded by $138 billion for the year ending September 30, said the Treasury Department. The nation's debt remains a key concern for voters ahead of November's presidential election. This year marks the third highest US deficit, behind 2021 and 2020, according to the Treasury. In the 2020 budget year, the deficit hit a record of $3.1 trillion as spending soared to help the economy weather the Covid-19 pandemic. In the latest fiscal year, there was a near 30 percent rise in spending on interest on the public debt... Читать дальше...
