Research May Solve Lunar Fire Fountain Mystery

Providence, RI (SPX) Aug 25, 2015 Tiny beads of volcanic glass found on the lunar surface during the Apollo missions are a sign that fire fountain eruptions took place on the Moon's surface. Now, scientists from Brown University and the Carnegie Institution for Science have identified the volatile gas that drove those eruptions. Fire fountains, a type of eruption that occurs frequently in Hawaii, require the presence of vo Full article
