Chang'e 5 Uncovers Recent Volcanic Activity on the Moon

Lunar samples reveal eruptions occurred just 125 million years ago, challenging previous assumptions of a long-dormant Moon.

Chinese mission Chang'e 5 found volcanic glass beads in lunar samples, indicating recent eruptions.
The volcanic activity is dated to 125 million years ago, much later than previously thought.
This discovery suggests the Moon remained geologically active far longer than previously believed.
Researchers used advanced techniques to analyze over 3,000 glass beads from the lunar soil.
The findings could reshape our understanding of the Moon's geological history and internal heat sources.
