    Recent Volcanic Activity
    Scientists had thought that volcanic activity ended on the Moon over a billion years ago. However, they have discovered more than 60 small volcanic flows in LROC images that appear relatively young (10 to 100 million years old). The smooth blobs within this D-shaped volcanic crater bear few impact craters—evidence of their young age.
