Magnesium iodide is stable at high heat under a hydrogen atmosphere, but decomposes in air at normal temperatures, turning brown from the release of elemental iodine. When heated in air, it decomposes completely to magnesium oxide.Another method to prepare MgI2 is mixing powdered elemental iodine and magnesium metal. I... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_iodide |

The second bounce reached a height of about 11 feet (3.4 metres). On the third impact with the surface – from the initial altitude of 3 meters, and velocity of zero, which was below the planned altitude of 14 feet (4.3 meters), and very slowly descending – Surveyor 3 settled down to a soft landing as intended. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveyor_3 |
