Lunar samples brought by Chang'e-5 mission shine light on space weathering-
China has determined more than 40 chemical elements in the lunar soil samples brought back by the Chang’e-5 mission with nuclear technology, a scientist team revealed on Sunday. The discovery will serve as an important reference for the study of the formation and evolution of the Moon and will also boost the utilization of lunar resources, experts said.
Rocket scheduled to crash on the surface of Moon on March 4 was not built by SpaceX, astronomers have announced, correcting their earlier analysis. It was, in fact, built by China, astronomers have now deciphered.
There is as much as 120 parts per million of water (as hydroxyl and/or H2O) in the lunar regolith, new data from the lander of China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe has revealed.
Although Chang'e 5's distant observation verified the presence of water, the lander has already identified evidence of water in rocks and dirt.
