Chinese scientists, using lunar soil samples brought back by Chang'e-6, have determined that the Moon's oldest and largest impact crater, the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin, was formed 4.25 billion ...

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 ...

China's Chang’e 6 returned the first samples from the moon’s far side, revealing volcanic secrets, impact history, and unique ...

New findings from China's Chang'e 6 lunar farside samples offer insights into the moon's volcanic past and mantle evolution.

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 ...
