Why are rocks on the moon older than any rocks on earth?
On Earth, plate tectonics and erosion have removed all of the rock that was originally surface rock, exposing the underlying crustal rocks and releasing magma to form new igneous formations. On the Moon, neither process is at work. Meteoroids striking the Moon have piled the rocks up and created a layer of fine powder there, but the exterior rocks are still those that formed shortly after the Moon itself.

Why they add new zodiac sign?
The addition of a new zodiac sign, such as Ophiuchus, is based on the precession of the Earth's axis over time. This phenomenon causes the constellations to shift in relation to the Earth's position, leading some astrologers to include Ophiuchus as a thirteenth sign. However, this change is not widely accepted or recognized in mainstream astrology.
