A remarkable 2.35-billion-year-old meteorite was recently discovered in Africa, offering groundbreaking insights into the Moon’s volcanic activity. This rare lunar meteorite possesses a unique chemical signature that reveals hidden processes that shaped the Moon’s interior long after its surface was believed to have cooled.
Scientists hailed this find as a pivotal moment in lunar research. The meteorite not only fills significant gaps in our understanding but also provides evidence of volcanic activity on the Moon that occurred much later than previously thought. This discovery challenges established theories about the Moon’s geological history and opens new avenues for research.
