India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission continues to make exciting discoveries on the Moon. The Pragyan rover has uncovered a 160-km-wide, ancient impact crater near the landing site, providing valuable insights into the early geological evolution of the lunar surface.
Chinese scientists have released the most comprehensive geological atlas of the Moon to date. The high-resolution map showcases 14 structural categories, 17 rock types, 81 impact basins, and over 12,000 craters, providing unprecedented insights into our celestial neighbor. This extensive data, spanning a decade of research, aims to facilitate future lunar missions and resource exploration. Additionally, it aids in understanding the Earth and other planets within our solar system.
