Recently, the Grail data unveiled that the famous “man in the moon” occurred due to volcanic plume instead of an asteroid impact.
Scientist created a map of the Procellarum and learned it has a polygonal shape rather than circular. Generally, the polygonal shape consists of sharp angles which are really difficult to form through a large asteroid.
Therefore, researchers believe that the angular shape occurred because of some massive cracks in the crust of the moon.
Maria Zuber, MIT’s vice president stated that they specially designed a “plumbing system” in the crust of the moon. The main purpose of this “plumbing system” is to pass the magma to the lunar surface. These magma joined together and formed the dark spot on the moon.
Furthermore, Zuber stated that not many of us noticed these trivial things such as the causes behind these patterns of the moon, how these spots occurred etc.
The report is explained in detail in the Journal Nature
