Chang'e-6 Lunar Samples Reveal 2.83-billion-year-old Basalt with Depleted Mantle
The Moon has a global dichotomy, with its near and far sides having different geomorphology, topography, chemical composition, crustal thickness, and evidence of volcanism. To better understand this dichotomy, Prof. XU Yigang's team from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry investigated lunar soil samples of the Moon returned by the Chang'e-6 mission.
