The findings from the Pragyan rover suggest that the Moon once harbored a subterranean magma ocean, supporting theories about its formation and evolution.
The terrain surveyed by the rover was largely uniform and comprised mainly of ferroan anorthosite, tying into the lunar magma ocean hypothesis.
An ancient impact with Earth may have resulted in the Moon forming from materials that splashed off, eventually cooling into a solid crust.
The study indicates that the Moon's magma ocean cooled unevenly, leading to the crystallization of light materials that formed its crust over billions of years.
