Unveiling the Hidden Structures Beneath the Dark Side of the Moon

China's Chang'e-4 lander, the first spacecraft to land on the far side of the moon, has provided new insights into the moon's geological history. The findings reveal multiple layers of dust, soil, and broken rocks in the top 130 feet of the lunar surface, as well as five distinct layers of lunar lava that spread across the landscape billions of years ago. The data suggests that volcanic activity on the moon ceased between a billion and 100 million years ago, but there could still be magma buried deep beneath the lunar surface.

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. Beneath this, researchers discovered five distinct layers of lunar lava that spread across the landscape billions of years ago. The data suggests that volcanic activity on the moon ceased between a billion and 100 million years ago, making it largely "geologically dead." However, there may still be magma buried deep beneath the lunar surface.

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.

Unveiling the Hidden Layers of the Moon: Rover's Surprising Discovery

The Chang'e-4 lunar rover has revealed multiple layers of hardened lava beneath the Moon's surface, indicating a series of basalt eruptions that occurred billions of years ago. The layers, detected using lunar penetrating radar, suggest a gradual depletion of internal thermal energy that drove lunar volcanism over time. Thicker layers were found deeper down, while they thinned towards the surface. The findings provide further insights into the Moon's volcanic history and support recent discoveries of prolonged lunar volcanic activity. However, the timing of these volcanic events remains unknown, and the interpretation of low-frequency lunar penetrating radar data continues to be debated among space scientists.

China's Lunar Rover Uncovers Mysterious Subsurface Structures on Dark Side of Moon

China's Chang'e-4 spacecraft, which landed on the far side of the moon in 2018, has used its Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR) to map the upper 1,000 feet of the moon's surface in unprecedented detail. The data reveals billions of years of hidden lunar history, including multiple layers of dust, soil, broken rocks, and five distinct layers of lunar lava. The findings suggest that the moon's volcanic activity slowed down over time, indicating that it is geologically "dead." However, there could still be magma deep beneath the lunar surface. Scientists hope that future missions will uncover more unexpected geological formations.

The data reveals billions of years of hidden lunar history, including multiple layers of dust, soil, broken rocks, and five distinct layers of lunar lava. The findings suggest that the moon's volcanic activity slowed down over time, with less lava flowing in later eruptions. While the moon is considered "geologically dead," there could still be magma deep beneath its surface. The researchers hope to uncover more unexpected geological formations in the future.
