Unveiling China's Astonishing Lunar Discoveries

China's Chang'e-4 lander, the first spacecraft to land on the far side of the moon, has revealed new insights into the moon's geological history. The findings, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, show that the top 130 feet of the lunar surface consists of layers of dust, soil, and broken rocks, with a crater hidden within. Beneath this, five distinct layers of lunar lava were discovered, indicating volcanic activity billions of years ago. The moon's volcanic activity is believed to have ceased between one billion and 100 million years ago, but the possibility of magma still existing deep beneath the surface remains.
