Lunar Volcanism and other Solar System Warmth
As many people already know, the solar system is about 4.5 billion years old according to standard dating ideas. The moon looks like a cold inactive rock. Other planets have moons that should also be uninteresting rocks, as are some planets and other objects up yonder. However, that is the opposite of the truth.
Believers in deep time and cosmic evolution presuppose billions of years, but are constantly being surprised when planets, moons, comets, asteroids, and other things do not "act their age." Many of those things show comparative youth and geologic activity.
Silvery Moonlight, John Atkinson Grimshaw, 1882 |
Tiny volcanic glass beads suggest “surprisingly recent” lava flows on the moon that are “difficult to reconcile with the accepted history of lunar volcanism.” These tiny glass beads were retrieved by the Chinese Chang’e 5 spacecraft. . . . The spacecraft returned to Earth in 2020. Subsequent chemical analysis of the beads suggested they were volcanic in origin, and radiometric dating yielded ages of about 120 million years.
