A new study of the lunar samples collected by China's Chang'e-6 mission has verified the hypothesis that the moon was entirely covered by a molten "magma ocean" in the early stages after its birth, providing critical evidence for understanding the moon's origin and evolution. This study, led by a joint research team organized by the China National Space Administration (#CNSA), has been published in the latest issue of the journal Science. The study revealed that the composition of basalt, a type of volcanic rock, from both the far and near sides of the moon proved similar. 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 created the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin may have altered the moon's early mantle, according to Liu Dunyi, a senior researcher at the institute.
