"Our team from the Geological Regions Division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences did a very good job in 2021, publishing three articles on Nature. We have accurately dated Chang 'e-5 (lunar soil samples) to 2.03 billion years old. Previous researches maintained [volcanic activity] ceased around 3 billion years ago or 2.8 billion years ago at the latest.

"The diameter of the South Pole-Aitken Basin is extremely large, exceeding 2,000 kilometers. It is the largest impact crater in the inner solar system (the region comprising the terrestrial planets and the asteroid belt). It (the South Pole-Aitken Basin) is likely to unveil quite a lot information towards the early formation of the moon. And it will be the first time for Chang'e-6 to retrieve samples from the far side. And the samples to be brought back from it (Chang'e-6) will have paramount scientific significance towards the information of lunar early evolution. So, we're highly looking forward to it."

Chinese scientists precisely confirmed the latest volcanic activity on moon happened about 2 billion years ago after they studied the lunar samples collected by Chang'e-5 lunar probe in 2020.
The outcome was announced by the China National Space Administration on Monday.
In 2021, a team of scientists carried out researches on the volcanic rock, which is a type of basalt to help indicate the time of volcanic activity occurred, from the lunar samples and proved that the volcanic activity continued until 2 billion years ago, a new refresh for human beings toward the lunar magmatic activity and the lunar evolution.
"Our team from the Geological Regions Division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences did a very good job in 2021, publishing three articles on Nature. We have accurately dated Chang 'e-5 (lunar soil samples) to 2.03 billion years old. Previous researches maintained [volcanic activity] ceased around 3 billion years ago or 2.8 billion years ago at the latest," said Li Xianhua, an academician and a research fellow with the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who led the research team.
Li said the research on the lunar samples have helped facilitate the understanding of lunar activity for humans, which has given researchers more expectations on new discoveries from the upcoming Chang'e-6 lunar mission scheduled for launch between 2024 and 2025.
"The diameter of the South Pole-Aitken Basin is extremely large, exceeding 2,000 kilometers. It is the largest impact crater in the inner solar system (the region comprising the terrestrial planets and the asteroid belt).

The first batch of lunar samples collected by Chang'e-5 was assigned to scientists on July 12, 2021. So far, five batches of 198 samples in 65.1 grams have been assigned to scientists.
