Scientists have uncovered evidence of a hidden ocean beneath the Moon’s surface—suggesting it may hold more water than previously believed, with major implications for future space missions.

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 ...

By mapping Miranda's rugged, heavily cratered surface and comparing pattern alignments, they built a compelling case for the moon concealing a liquid ocean layer beneath its icy shell. Their ...

Data from ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 supports the theory of a ‘magma ocean’ once existing on the Moon's surface, the report said ciitng an analysis published in the journal Nature. The analysis ...

Just before the first anniversary of India's Chandrayaan-3 landing on the Moon, a new discovery from data by the Pragyan rover revealed that the regolith around the landing site is primarily ...

The moon was once engulfed by a massive magma ocean, analysis of geological samples collected by India's Chandrayaan-3 mission suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

This supports theories the Moon may have once had a magma ocean covering its surface. The idea that a single ocean of lava once existed on the Moon is supported further by the fact that the same ...

The Moon is thought to have formed when a Mars-sized planet collided with Earth, ejecting rock that subsequently coalesced to form our planet’s only satellite. The lunar magma ocean is thought ...

The loss of the magma played a crucial role in the moon's landscape formation. There was once a magma-filled ocean on the south pole of the moon, scientists recently discovered after analyzing ...

When Pragyan probed the ingredients of this surface material, called regolith, it wound up boosting the idea that the Moon once harbored a subterranean magma ocean. The findings appear in a new ...
