Scientists Discover Large Volcanic Granite Mass 50km Buried On Moon due volcano eruption 3.5 billion years ago

Earth’s satellite Moon has been the subject of interest of space scientists since the beginning. Now scientists have found something on the moon that was never seen before. Scientists have found old granite deposits buried here. This kind of discovery had not been revealed before on the lunar surface. Another interesting thing is that heat is coming out from this granite. It has been discovered by a satellite. Let us know about this new discovery made in space.

As evidence of volcanic eruptions on the Moon, a large deposit of granite has been found which is spread over a radius of 50 kilometers. Scientists have said that it is formed due to the cooling of volcanic lava. But the surprising thing here is that it has been said about this volcano that it would have erupted 3.5 billion years ago. This is 1 billion years after the formation of the solar system. That is, one billion years after the formation of the solar system, the temperature of the Moon was so high that large volcanoes were erupting here?

This granite found on the moon is 50 kilometers in diameter. It can be estimated how large an area it is spread over. Planetary Scientists Has published it. According to which it has been found in the Compton Belkovich Volcanic Complex located on the other side of the Moon. According to Dr. Matt Siegler, who leads the research at the Planetary Science Research Institute in Tucson, granite contains high amounts of radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium.

Research has said that this does not happen in other rocks found on the moon. This granite mountain is emitting so much heat due to elements like uranium and thorium. Experts say that there is hardly any granite present in our solar system outside the Earth. It is formed when magma is formed after any fire related activity. Earlier, out of the hundreds of kilos of rocks that were brought to Earth in NASA’s Apollo missions, only a few grains of granite were found. That means granite was present in very small quantities in them.
