Uncovering Lunar Secrets: Granite and Water Found on the Moon

Scientists have discovered a large granite formation beneath the Moon's surface, indicating ancient volcanic activity and challenging existing theories about the lunar crust's formation. The presence of granite, typically associated with water and plate tectonics, raises questions about past conditions on the Moon. The granite formation, estimated to be 3.5 billion years old, was formed from the cooling of molten lava that fed a volcano or volcanoes. This finding helps explain how the early lunar crust formed and suggests the possibility of water or extreme heat in that specific area.
