China's Chang'e-6 mission discovered rare CI chondrite meteorite traces in lunar soil, providing evidence of ancient water-rich asteroid impacts on the Moon, which may have contributed to Earth's early water and volatile inventory.
China's Chang'e-6 mission discovered rare CI chondrite meteorite traces in lunar soil, providing evidence of ancient water-rich asteroids impacting the Moon and potentially Earth, and offering insights into the early Solar System's composition.
China's Chang'e-6 mission discovered fragments of rare water-bearing meteorite (CI chondrite) in lunar samples from the far side of the Moon, suggesting that volatile-rich asteroids can reach the lunar surface and may be more common than previously thought, with implications for understanding water delivery to the Moon and Earth.
Dust from the far side of the Moon collected by China's Chang'e-6 mission revealed the first confirmed presence of fragile, water-bearing CI chondrite meteorite debris on the Moon, providing new insights into early Solar System impacts and the potential delivery of water and volatiles to lunar and terrestrial bodies.
