The moon might still have active volcanoes, China's Chang'e 5 sample-return probe revealsChina's Chang'e 5 mission brought back evidence that the moon had erupting volcanoes just 120 million years ago.
Three tiny glass beads, from a sample of 3,000 taken from the Moon, have revealed evidence of recent volcanic activity.
"Uranium-lead dating of the three volcanic glass beads shows that they formed 123 million, ±15 million, years ago," wrote Wang and Zhang's team. Uranium-lead dating involves measuring the ...
