The basalt samples, aged 2.823 billion years, align with the lunar magma ocean model, which suggests that the early moon was covered by a global magma ocean, with minerals crystallizing to form ...

with the primary basalt formation age determined to be approximately 2.82 billion years. These findings validate the lunar magma ocean hypothesis, which states that the moon experienced global ...

Scientists came to the conclusion that there was a large ocean of magma on the Moon at some point after they've found that, just like on the near side, the same composition of basalt, which is a ...

Mars’ thick crust may have been a hidden engine of geological activity, producing granitic magmas and sustaining underground ...

The basalt present in the Chang'e-6 samples is primarily 2.823 billion years old, and its characteristics support the lunar magma ocean model. The research also suggests that the impact event that ...

Yellowstone and Hawaiʻi. These systems a well known for producing large volumes of magma through time and leaving chains of volcanic features in their wake, although they do so in very different ways.

Scientists have long theorized that the Moon was once covered by a vast ocean of molten rock. Now, new research based on samples from the far side of the Moon provides the strongest evidence yet that ...
