The study of lunar soil by India's rover offers new empirical evidence for the Lunar Magma Ocean hypothesis, enhancing our understanding of the moon's formation.
Researchers found lunar soil similar to samples from equatorial regions, which supports the idea that the moon's crust formed as magma cooled about 4.4 billion years ago.
The moon was once a molten body, and if seen during that time, it would have appeared as a hot reddish ball looming large in the sky.
