Scientists have uncovered the mystery of “the amphitheater” on the moon

Ученые раскрыли тайну возникновения "амфитеатров" на ЛунеTurns out, they had emerged from a splash of magma.

Astronomers from the Massachusetts Institute of technology who conducted the study multistage formations on the surface of the earth satellite the moon, like the Roman amphitheatres such as the Colosseum, set as they are formed.

Turns out, they had emerged from a splash of magma.

At the beginning of its existence, the Moon was attacked by a bombardment of asteroids, with the result that its surface formed a crater-shaped amphitheater.

Because these formations were named “KOLIZEY”. The subject of study was the formation of the Eastern sea of the moon.

This is a huge multi-stage crater formed due to the collision of the satellite with a large asteroid.

It happened around 4 billion years ago. As a result of this process a large part of the lunar crust was ejected into space, and the walls fell into the layer of the mantle.

Later this phenomenon has stimulated other conversions of the lunar surface, which led to the formation of “the Colosseum”.

The researchers came to the conclusion that similar processes could occur on other planets of our Galaxy.This influenced the structure of their surfaces.
