On February 28th, a joint research team organized by the National Space Administration and led by the Ion Probe Center of the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, released the latest research results of Chang’e-6 lunar far side samples on the 28th. The related paper was published in the international academic journal Science. Research shows that the composition of basalt in samples from the far and near sides of the moon is similar. The main formation age of basalt in the samples studied in this study is 2.823 billion years. The characteristics of the source region validate the lunar magmatic ocean model and indicate that the impact that formed the South Pole Aitken Basin may have altered the early lunar mantle. This achievement provides key scientific basis for human research on major scientific issues such as the origin and evolution of the moon.
