🚀 Exciting news from the moon! 🌕 New research reveals that the far side of the moon, previously shrouded in mystery, once hosted erupting volcanoes just like its near side. 🌋 The findings come from samples collected by China's Chang'e-6 mission, which returned volcanic rock fragments dating back over 4 billion years! 🧑‍🔬 This discovery sheds light on the moon's geological past and raises questions about its evolution. #MoonMysteries #ChangE6 #LunarVolcanism

The far side of the moon once had erupting volcanoes too

New research confirms volcanoes were erupting on the far side of the moon billions of years ago. Researchers analyzed lunar soil brought back by China’s Chang’e-spacecraft and found fragments of volcanic rock that were about 2.8 billion years old. The oldest dated back to 4.2 billion years. Previous studies have suggested the moon's far side might have a volcanic past, but this new work confirms it with moon rocks. Chang'e-6 returned to Earth earlier this year with rock and soil samples. It was the first mission to collect samples from the moon's far side. The findings were published Friday in the journals Nature and Science.

The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth and is located at a distance of about 3,84,400 kilometers. Its diameter is about 3,474 kilometers, which is about one-fourth the diameter of the Earth. Due to the absence of atmosphere on the Moon, there is a huge difference in the temperature between day and night, which can be about 127°C during the day and -173°C at night.
