Volcanism on the Moon is represented by the presence of volcanoes, pyroclastic deposits and vast lava plains on the lunar surface. The volcanoes are typically in the form of small domes and cones that form large volcanic complexes and isolated edifices.
Researchers already knew that volcanoes were active on the near side of the Moon during a similar period, ... In 2020, the Chang’e-5 spacecraft returned moon rocks from the near side, the first ...
Volcanoes were erupting on the mysterious far side of the moon billions of years ago, US and Chinese researchers have found. Analysis of samples collected by a Chinese mission found basalt ...
Research conducted by scientists with NASA’s Juno mission has unveiled the mechanisms behind intense volcanic activity on Jupiter’s moon, Io. The findings suggest that the volcanoes on the ...
A lunar dome is a type of shield volcano that is found on the surface of the Earth's Moon. They are typically formed by highly viscous, possibly silica-rich lava, erupting from localized vents followed by relatively slow cooling. Lunar domes are wide, rounded, circular features with a gentle slope rising in elevation a few hundred meters to the ...
Volcanic features provide information about the composition of the lava that formed the Compton–Belkovich Thorium Anomaly. On average, many volcanoes on the Moon have slopes of lower than 7 degrees. However, the Compton–Belkovich Thorium Anomaly has a slope which reaches 25 degrees at the highest.
Volcanoes were still erupting on the moon during Earth’s dinosaur age, new research suggests, much more recently than previously believed.. Three tiny glass beads that were collected from the ...
NEW YORK (AP) — Volcanoes were erupting on the mysterious far side of the moon billions of years ago just like on the side that we can see, new research confirms. Researchers analyzed lunar soil brought back by China's Chang'e-6, the first spacecraft to return with a haul of rocks and dirt from the little-explored far side.
