Lava used to flow on the surface of the Moon around 1.97 billion years ago. This can be proved easily as there are rocks to support the claim, findings of a study said.

1.97 billion years old Moon rocks set new record for youngest lunar material

The rock samples brought back from Moon in December by China's Chang'e-5 mission carry evidence of the most recent lunar lava ever analysed. The researchers used tiny fragments from the 2 kilograms of rock by the Chang’e-5 lander to confirm predictions about the Oceanus Procellarum region, where the spacecraft had landed.

Samples brought from China's moon trip indicate recent volcanic activity

1.97 billion years ago, lava was still flowing on the Moon's surface, and now there is proof in the form of rocks. According to a report published in 'Science', an international team of planetary scientists and researchers from China, Australia, Sweden and the United States has arrived at this discovery.
