The recent data from the Chang'e-5 mission revealed evidence of volcanism on the Moon dating back to just 125 million years ago, indicating recent geological activity.
Beads formed during lunar eruptions demonstrate that volcanic activity is not as ancient as previously thought, with samples challenging the understanding of Moon's volcanic history.
The diversity in the composition of the beads returned suggests varied sources, whether from lunar eruptions or from impacts by extraterrestrial materials.
Despite the Moon’s thin atmosphere and high-impact regime, evidence now suggests that volcanic activity persisted much longer than the previously assumed timeline.
