Remains of a meteorite containing water were discovered in the remote part of the moon – RCO News Agency

According to RCO News Agency, quoted by Space, parts of a rare meteorite in the samples taken by the mission spacecraft Chang 6 China has been brought to earth, it has been found. These remains help to discover the source of water on earth.

The substance discovered in 1935.9 grams of sample regolith Moon to a group of meteorites rich in carbon and water called Chondrite Hi CI belongs. These meteorites on Earth make up less than one percent of space rocks Bring constitute the The most important example is the meteorite Ivonne It crashed in Tanzania in 1938. But in space the situation is different. Asteroids Ryogo and Ben No, respectively, spacecrafts Hayabusa 2 Japan and Osiris Rex NASA has traveled to these rocks aresimilarities to Chondrite Hi Display CI are. These types of meteorites are also abundant in the moon.

Mang Lin Professor of Chemistry Isotog at the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in this load says: Based on Limited foreign material detected on the Moon areit seems Chondrite Hi CI on this planet is more than Earth. However, the current data for the result get are few and to be tested in the future to measure Hi More is needed.

spaceship Chang 6 In June 2024, it landed in the Pole-Aitken basin south of the Moon to collect the first sample from the far side of the Earth’s natural moon. Bring slow Chondrite Hi CIs are fine-grained and highly porous, so they break up easily may splash And they react with oxygen and water, which is why they are so rare on Earth.

More precisely, these materials fall on the ground may splash Or chemically, they change quickly. But the dry surface of the month to maintain Chondrite I see It is more appropriate.
