As a sign of China’s presence on the far side of the moon, the Chang’e-6 lunar probe unfurled a Chinese national flag on June 2024 during its sampling mission. The flag was woven from basalt fibre.

Basalt samples returned by the Chang'e-6 mission have revealed volcanic events on the lunar farside at 2.8 billion years ago (Ga) and 4.2 Ga, according to research conducted by Prof. Li Qiuli's ...

Tiny glass beads from Apollo missions reveal Moon's ancient volcanic eruptions through sparkling mineral coatings.

These multidisciplinary approaches not only elucidate the processes that shaped the lunar crust—from mantle overturn and core formation to mare basalt volcanism—but also offer crucial ...

A discovery of lunar glass beads continues to captivate scientists, shedding new light on the Moon’s volcanic history. These ...

First introduced in 2014, the university exhibition zone has expanded this year to include institutions such as Nanjing ...

Our findings reveal that the Zn and K isotope compositions of lunar mare basalts are homogeneous, regardless of the formation age and sampling location. We propose that the moderately volatile ...
