"Japan's Space Agency Unveils Clues to Moon's Origin"

Japan's space agency's lunar spacecraft, SLIM, has successfully transmitted data analyzing 10 lunar rocks, exceeding expectations and potentially providing clues about the moon's origin. The spacecraft, which made a historic precision touchdown on the moon, is currently hibernating in a lunar night and it remains uncertain if it will survive the severe cold temperatures. The mission's success has propelled the team to pursue studying the moon's origins, comparing the mineral compositions of moon rocks and those of Earth to potentially confirm the "giant-impact" hypothesis.
