China, which is in a major race with the US in space research, has achieved a first in history in recent months. Man who managed to land on the invisible side of the moon Change 6 spacecraft from here rock and soil He brought his samples to Earth in June. Samples have since been examined.

Now there are new developments regarding these examples. China shared with us some of the findings it obtained from the samples as a result of the investigations. The findings revealed surprising results.

It was observed that volcanic activity may have occurred on the moon much more recently than expected.

As a result of the examination of samples weighing about 2 kg, more than expected findings were found on the moon. volcanic activity may have occurred much more recently was seen. The findings were recently published in the journals Science and Nature. The studies were carried out using the radiometric dating method, which analyzes isotope decay.

Materials collected from the results, 2.8 billion years He is about an age. This shows that the area on the invisible side of the moon was volcanically active at the time. The previous opinion of scientists was that volcanic activities stopped at that time. But the examples of Chang’e 6 showed that this was not true. It also turned out that lava had existed on the moon for much longer than previously thought.

Apart from this, examples are; i.e. potassium, rare earth elements and phosphorus Also at low levels in terms of KREEP shows that it is so. This refers to a heat-producing geochemical found in certain lunar rocks, especially basalt. These were found in samples from the Apollo period, but not in samples from the other side. KREEP was known to promote volcanic activity. However, its disappearance or waning over time caused the moon’s temperature to drop and volcanic activity to decrease.

China will continue to share its findings from the samples it brought back from the moon. These two studies show that they can reveal more things we didn’t know before. We eagerly await the data that will emerge in the future.
