Researchers identify that the visible face of the satellite responds differently to Earth's gravity, suggesting an unequal internal composition and challenging previous models about its origin
Ultra-depleted mantle source of basalts from the South Pole–Aitken basin
Lunar mare basalts illuminate the nature of the Moon’s mantle, the lunar compositional asymmetry and the early lunar magma ocean (LMO)1–3. However, the characteristics of the mantle beneath the vast South Pole–Aitken (SPA) basin on the lunar farside remain a mystery. Here we present the petrology and geochemistry of basalt fragments from Chang’e-6 (CE6), the first returned lunar farside samples from the SPA basin4–7. These 2.8-billion-year-old C…

The Chinese Chang'e-6 mission brought to Earth samples of the hidden face of the Moon, which have served to give answers to some differences with the visible face and to the greatest impact the satellite suffered, which left a basin of 2,500 kilometers in diameter.
