[Photo/Xinhua] A new study of the lunar samples collected by China's Chang'e-6 mission has verified the hypothesis that the moon was entirely covered by a molten "magma ocean" in the early stages ...

These findings validate the lunar magma ocean hypothesis, which states that the moon experienced global-scale melting shortly after its formation, creating a vast magma ocean. As the molten ...

It took more than half a year, but the first major study on these samples is here, and it points to the Moon having been an ocean of molten magma back in its early days. It's something we’ve ...
