Wait for the rush to get more seismic recorders up there! A thump as hard as this will bounce around inside the moon for years. To be followed by investigations of the brand new crater.

🌙💦 Did you know the #moon holds more water than we once believed? 🚀✨ Research by Ananya Mallik, Sabrina Schwinger, Arkadeep Roy, and Pranabendu Moitra reveals a key factor controlling H₂O levels on the moon, challenging past assumptions. Dive into their dataset and article at https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.20113466 and https://doi.org/10.1111/maps.13921 respectively.

Looks like the moon had quite the explosive youth! 🌋 China's Chang'e-6 mission revealed 1.4 billion years of volcanic drama on the far side. And here I thought I had an eventful past! Now it just sits there looking pristine, but these samples tell us it was once a real hothead. #Space #LunarScience

🌕🪨 Did you know that extrusive magnesium-rich rocks on the #moon might not only form deep beneath the surface? Amanda Stadermann, Jessica J. Barnes, Timmons M. Erickson, Tabb Prissel, and Zachary Michels propose a new model suggesting these rocks can also form on the lunar surface! 🚀 Explore their groundbreaking research at https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.22964729 and https://doi.org/10.1029/2022JE007728.

"The samples are going to be different from all previous rocks collected by the US, Soviet Union and China,” which came from the Moon’s near side, says Yang Wei, a geochemist at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics in Beijing. “We have very high expectations for them."
