On the visible side of the moon, a small piece of just a few millimeters was removed from the Basalt plain of Oceanus Procellarum (“Ocean Storms”).
According to researchers from the Chen-Leg Ding University Nanjing University, a strong asteroid coup that pays attention to extreme temperatures of moon rocks, was established about 68 million years ago.
Mainly consists of magnesium oxide, which creates a sharp contrast with volcanic rocks that reign in this region.
It is assumed that the coup that creates this “bead” is strong enough to throw the material from the upper mantle of the moon to the surface. This discovery offers a rare opportunity to examine the intestines of the world’s satellite, which is often impossible to reach.
Researchers also associate the bead origin with the old Imprium basin, which was formed by about 4 billion years ago and probably leaving traces of mantle on the surface of the moon.
