Tiny glass beads found on the Moon show it once had volcanoes, scientists say - Volcanic eruptions were happening as recently as 120 million years ago, study suggests

Researchers studied around 3,000 lunar glass beads smaller than a pinhead and found three with signs they came from a volcano. Glass beads can form on the moon when molten droplets cool after a volcanic eruption or meteorite impact.

Evidence brought back by the Chinese mission to the Moon's surface shows that volcanic activity was being recorded much later than previously thought. View on euronews
