A recent study from the University of Florida has found that lava on the far side of moon cooled much later than previously believed. The findings are based on an analysis of basalt samples collected by China's Chang'e 5 mission. The study, published in Science Advances, used radioactive dating to model how long the moon's upper mantle stayed hot.
