Chinese scientists discovered water molecules in moon soil (symbolic picture)
Beijing: Chinese scientists have detected the presence of water in moon soil. Chinese scientists have found water molecules in moon soil. This information has been given by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). This discovery has been made possible through China’s Chang’e-5 mission, which brought soil samples from the moon and sent them to Earth in 2020. Chang’e-5 is an important lunar mission of China, which collected samples of soil and rocks from the surface of the moon in December 2020. The main objective of the mission was to understand the composition and origin of the surface of the moon.
The report was published on July 16
The research was jointly carried out by researchers from the Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics and the Institute of Physics of the CAS and other domestic research institutes, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported. The research report was published in the journal Nature Astronomy on July 16. The CAS said on Tuesday that based on lunar soil samples brought back by the Chang’e-5 mission in 2020, Chinese scientists have found a hydrated mineral “containing” molecular water.
this is a big achievement
The discovery of water in the lunar soil by China’s Chang’e-5 mission is an important achievement, which is very significant not only from a scientific point of view but also for the future of space exploration. It will give us an opportunity to learn and understand more about the moon, as well as open up new possibilities for future space missions.
What did India’s Chandrayaan-1 do
In 2009, India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft detected signs of hydrated minerals in the form of oxygen and hydrogen molecules in sunlit areas of the Moon. Its instruments included NASA’s Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), an imaging spectrometer, which helped confirm the discovery of water in minerals on the Moon. (Language)
