The moon was once covered with an ocean of molten rock, study says
Briefly

The analysis of the lunar surface from India's Chandrayaan-3 has confirmed the 'Lunar Magma Ocean' theory, indicating the moon was once covered in molten magma.
Chandrayaan-3's findings of ferroan anorthosite provide additional support for the idea that the moon’s ancient surface was shaped by a vast magma ocean during its formation.
With 23 measurements tracked by its alpha particle X-ray spectrometer, the rover has confirmed the mineral composition of an unexplored lunar region, reinforcing previous theories.
The success of Vikram's landing marks a significant achievement in lunar exploration, reaching the furthest south point on the moon and revealing new geological insights.
