Active volcanoes were erupting on the far side of the moon 2.8 billion years ago, the first lunar samples returned from the ...

Recently, they analyzed the first rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon in two different studies and discovered ...

After analyzing the sample brought by Chang'e-6, researchers found that the moon’s oldest and deepest crater on its far side ...

Basalt samples returned by the Chang'e-6 mission have revealed volcanic events on the lunar farside at 2.8 billion years ago ...

Dissolved carbon dioxide may have bubbled up from magma far below Earth's surface, contributing to prolonged warming.

While volcanic activity on the Moon's near side, visible from Earth, is well-documented, the far side remains largely ...

Scientists examine a large dike, formed from a sheet of magma that came to Earth’s surface millions of years ago during the Columbia River Basalt eruptions. These dikes fed magma to massive eruptions.

Caption Schematic scenario for flood basalt eruptions at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. Magma intruded into shales, coal beds and organic-rich sediments, releasing vast amounts of carbon dioxide ...

Because the Mascarene Platform was just beginning to separate from India at the time, much of this basalt covers the platform as well, though the eruptions did not smother all of the older granite.

These impacts have also been found to trigger massive volcanic eruptions called flood-basalt eruptions. After the asteroid impact set off the events leading to the end of the dinosaurs, a series of ...
