The Sun is stranger than we think

During research of lunar soil collected by Neil Armstrong in 1969, scientists have found startling new evidence that indicates that the Sun's composition is far different than we think.

 

Originally, there were two theories about the Sun's composition, one suggesting it has a similar oxygen composition to the planets, while the other indicating that it has enriched levels of oxygen-16. But in fact, it appears that the Sun has lower levels of oxygen-16, exactly the opposite of what scientists expected. It just shows how much more we have to learn about our most important source of energy.
