US EditionChinese scientists uncover thermal mechanism of moon's young volcanoes - People's Daily Online
- Chinese scientists studied lunar samples from the Chang'e-6 mission to discover the thermal driver behind the moon's young volcanoes, as detailed in a paper published in Science Advances.
- The findings indicated that volcanic activity on the moon continued after it was believed to be dormant for 3 billion years, based on analyses of basalt samples from recent Chang'e missions.
- The study found that the chemical characteristics of young volcanic rocks on the moon's near side are similar to those of basalts from the Chang'e-5 mission and different from those on the far side.
- These findings enhance the understanding of the moon's asymmetric evolution, revealing new insights into its thermal history.
