Timing of crystallization of the lunar magma ocean constrained by the oldest zircon

The Moon is thought to have formed through the consolidationof debris from the collision of a Mars-sized body with the Earthmore than 4,500 million years ago. The primitive Moon wascovered with a thick layer of melt known as the lunar magmaocean1, the crystallization of which resulted in the Moon?ss...
