Moon S Volcanic Activity As Recent As 120 Million Years Ago Study Radiometric dating of those volcanic beads showed that they formed 120 million years ago and were subsequently transported to the chang’e 5 landing site. the results indicate recent lunar volcanism that is not predicted by thermal models. According to a thorough and painstaking new analysis of material collected by the china national space administration's chang'e‑5 mission, these once molten minerals count as evidence of lunar volcanism that occurred as recently as just 120 million years ago.
Moon S Volcanic Activity As Recent As 120 Million Years Ago Study Analysis of the beads indicates volcanoes were erupting on the moon as recently as 120 million years ago, while dinosaurs were still roaming earth. the researchers, led by bi wen wang. There is extensive geologic evidence of ancient volcanic activity on the moon, but it is unclear how long that volcanism persisted. magma fountains produce volcanic glasses, which have previously been found in samples of the moon's surface. New analysis of lunar samples returned by the chang’e 5 mission by the china national space administration suggest volcanic eruptions were occurring on the moon as little as about 120 million years ago. According to a thorough and painstaking new analysis of material collected by the china national space administration’s chang’e‑5 mission, these once molten minerals count as evidence of lunar volcanism that occurred as recently as just 120 million years ago.

The question of whether lunar volcanism extends into the last few hundred million years is critical to fully understanding the thermal evolution of the moon (fig. 1) and other planetary bodies. Based on this study and combined with past studies, we determined the volcanic history in the source area of rima mairan, including both effusive and explosive volcanic activities. Volcanoes were erupting on the moon as recently as 120 million years ago, evidence collected by a chinese spacecraft suggests. until the last few years, scientists had thought. China's chang'e 5 mission brought back evidence that the moon had erupting volcanoes just 120 million years ago.
