The Apollo Missions: The Formation Of The Moon

The Apollo Missions were launched by NASA between 1961 and 1975. The missions collected much scientific data that helped us understand more about space and especially the moon. In many of the manned and unmanned missions collected many rock samples. In this certain study they found that the moon had many magma rocks on the moon. This fact surprised many scientists because space is very cold (as we all know) and magma rocks are formed from extreme heat or pressure. The magma rocks were only found in certain parts of the moon and not in others. So we know that the whole moon was obviously not all formed by magma rocks.

There are many hypotheses, it is hard to conduct an experiment on something so far away, and these magma rocks had a few scientists thinking hard. Some of the conjectures were that a big asteroid hit and caused super heating from the collision and kinetic energy, enhanced solar flares roasting the crust of the moon, radioactive elements on the crust of the moon, and heat from the earth formed from fission.
Although we know that an asteroid large enough to cause that much magma would. The conclusions of the study was that one third of the outer layer of the moon was extensively melted at the time of the formation of the moon. Although we know that an asteroid large enough to cause that much magma would destroy the moon, much like the solar flare theory. It was concluded that we can search for different kinds of magma rock to be able to support different
