Ancient volcanoes found on the far side of the Moon.

Scientists studied moon rocks brought back by a Chinese spacecraft. These rocks came from the far side of the moon, which we never see from Earth.

The rocks showed that volcanoes erupted on the far side of the moon billions of years ago. This is similar to what happened on the near side of the moon.

The rocks were very old, with some dating back almost three billion years. One rock was even older, dating back over four billion years!

These findings are important because they give us new information about the far side of the moon. Before this, we didn't have any rock samples from that area.

Scientists are still trying to understand why the far side of the moon looks so different from the near side. They hope to learn more by studying these rocks.
