>Suspected volcano 'glowing' on moon - as scientists baffled after heat blob discovery
>Scientists have been left baffled after discovering a giant heat blob on the dark side of the moon spanning 31 miles. It's believed to come from a large deposit of granite buried underneath the surface of the moon formed by a volcano. It has a temperature of 10C and has profound consequences for lunar research. This is considered to be very hot for the moon where the mercury can plummet to bone-chilling lows of -183C at night.
>Dr Matt Siegler, co-lead researcher at the Planetary Science Institute, explained: “What we found was that one of these suspected volcanoes, known as Compton-Belkovich, was absolutely glowing at microwave wavelengths."
