Chinese Scientists Make Groundbreaking Discovery
Chinese scientists have found a mineral enriched with water in lunar soil samples returned from the Chang'e-5 probe mission.
This is the first time that water has been found in its molecular form on the Moon, and it could have significant implications for future space exploration. The discovery was made by a team of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who analyzed soil samples that were collected by the Chang'e-5 probe in December 2020.
The scientists found that the mineral, which they have named "Chang'E-5ite," contains about 1% water by weight.
This is a significant amount of water, and it could be a valuable resource for future human missions to the Moon. Water is essential for human life, and it can be used for drinking, irrigation, and other purposes. The discovery of water on the Moon could make it possible to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon.
