The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
camera provides a glimpse into

00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:08,141
our Moon's volcanically active
past. This is Rima Prinz - a

00:00:08,141 --> 00:00:11,078
long channel where lava once
flowed from the Vera volcanic

4
00:00:11,078 --> 00:00:14,581
depression. Within Vera,
eruptions of fiery lava

5
00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:17,918
fountains formed a lake of lava
three hundred meters deep and

6
00:00:17,918 --> 00:00:20,787
carved a lava channel a hundred
times deeper and ten times

7
00:00:20,787 --> 00:00:24,258
longer than ones on Earth. This
region shows that eruptions on

8
00:00:24,258 --> 00:00:29,029
the Moon were sometimes larger
than what we see on Earth today.
