When the Apollo astronauts first set foot on the lunar surface, they expected to find grey rocks and dust. What they didn't anticipate was discovering something that looked almost magical - tiny, brilliant orange glass beads scattered across the Moon's landscape like microscopic gems.

The beads formed some 3.3 to 3.6 billion years ago during volcanic eruptions on the surface of the then-young satellite.

However, while humans are unlikely to ever mine Earth's core, new research indicates that some metals have migrated out of the core into enriched rocks that eventually ended up at the surface.
