Chinese scientists uncover thermal mechanism of moon's young volcanoes
A recent study of lunar samples collected by the Chang'e-6 mission has revealed the thermal driver behind the moon's young volcanoes, offering new insights into the different evolution of its near and far sides and updating understanding of lunar thermal history, according to a paper published in Science Advances on Saturday. Scientists have long believed that the moon went "dormant" about 3 billion years ago, with volcanic activity largely ceasing. However, China's Chang'e-5 and Chang'e-6 missions brought back basalt samples formed 2 billion and 2.8 billion years ago, respectively, confirming that volcanic eruptions still occurred on the moon during its so-called "later years."
