For decades. researchers have theorized that resting beneath Callisto's pockmarked surface is a liquid saltwater ocean that spans the entire moon. After taking a closer look at data from 30 years ...

When teachers explain ocean tides, they frequently describe how the moon's gravity pulls on Earth and all of its water. This, they often say, leads to a gravitational imbalance, which stretches ...

Recent findings from samples collected by China's Chang'e 6 mission have provided valuable insights into the history of the moon, particularly ... a global liquid magma ocean in the early days ...

The Moon was once covered in a vast magma ocean, scientists have confirmed from samples collected by a Chinese spacecraft. A lunar lander, called Chang'e 6, landed on the little-explored far side ...

Liquid from the ocean, scientists believed, could be escaping through cracks in the moon's icy crust. Researchers at Dartmouth College set out to understand exactly how these geysers form ...

A Chinese study found that the Moon was wholly covered by a molten “magma ocean” in the early phases of its formation. A study by the China National Space Administration, published in the ...

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 ...
