Active volcanoes were erupting on the far side of the moon 2.8 billion years ago, the first lunar samples returned from the ...

Basalt samples returned by the Chang'e-6 mission have revealed volcanic events on the lunar farside at 2.8 billion years ago (Ga) and 4.2 Ga, according to research conducted by Prof. Li Qiuli's ...

This low elevation allowed ancient volcanism to breach the normally thicker farside crust and present rare samples of farside ...

Led by Prof. Li, postdoctoral researcher Zhang Qian conducted systematic radioisotope dating on 108 basalt fragments from this sample. Of these, 107 fragments revealed a consistent formation age ...

This low elevation allowed ancient volcanism to breach the normally thicker farside crust and present rare samples of farside basalt. Putting the Chang’e 6 sample return results into modern ...

Led by Li, postdoctoral researcher Zhang Qian conducted systematic radioisotope dating on 108 basalt fragments from the sample. Of these, 107 fragments revealed a consistent formation age of 2807 ...

Basalt samples from China's Chang'e-6 mission helped researchers for the first time to precisely measure the age of volcanic eruptions on the far side of the Moon. After analyzing the sample ...

The predominant low-Ti basalt represents the local basalt unit around the landing site, whereas the VLT basalt possibly came from the unit to the east of the landing site. The high-precision Pb-Pb ...

The predominant low-Ti basalt represents the local basalt unit around the landing site, whereas the VLT basalt possibly came from the unit to the east of the landing site (Figure 1B). The high ...

Volcanic rock contained in the sample dates back 2.8 billion years ... the new research found. The age of the basalt rock from the far side is surprisingly young compared with the previously ...
