新的月球样本证实 月球曾经完全被熔化的“岩浆海洋”覆盖 New lunar samples confirm the Moon was once entirely covered by a molten "magma ocean."

根据中国长江六号飞行任务收集的月球样本进行的一项新研究证实了这样一个假设,即月球在形成后不久就完全被熔化的“岩浆海洋”所覆盖。 A new study based on lunar samples collected by China's Chang'e-6 mission confirms the hypothesis that the Moon was once entirely covered by a molten "magma ocean" shortly after its formation. 这次任务于2024年进行,是首次对月球的远方进行取样,从南极-艾特肯盆地取回材料。 The mission, conducted in 2024, was the first to sample the Moon's far side, retrieving materials from the South Pole-Aitken Basin. 该研究发表在《科学》上,揭示了月球两侧类似的玄武岩成分,支持岩浆海洋模型。 The research, published in Science, reveals similar basalt compositions on both sides of the Moon, supporting the magma ocean model. 这一模型表明,月球经历了一场全球融化事件,形成巨大的岩浆海洋,冷却并结晶,形成月球结壳和地壳。 This model suggests that the Moon experienced a global melting event, forming a vast magma ocean that cooled and crystallized to form the lunar crust and mantle. 该研究还表明,造成南极-艾特肯盆地的撞击事件可能改变了月球的早期地壳。 The study also indicates that the impact event creating the South Pole-Aitken Basin may have altered the Moon's early mantle.
