Samples from far side of the moon show history of ancient volcanoes

The moon is seen on the left side of the image, cloe enough that not all of it can be seen. The curve of the moon recedes into darkness at the left edge of the image.

The first surface samples retrieved from the dark side of the moon show that there used to be erupting volcanoes there, just as there were on the near side billions of years ago, according to new research.
