Scientists discovered a large granite rock buried beneath a crater on the far side of the moon that is emitting heat. This suggests ancient volcanic activity that formed granite from cooled magma below the surface billions of years ago. The 20-km wide heat source lies under the Compton-Belkovich crater and is about 18F warmer than the surrounding lunar surface due to the radioactive decay of elements in the granite.
