China's self-propelled robot spotted strange minerals on the moon

Self-propelled robot Rabbit Rabbit 2 (Yutu 2) has found a strange mineral inside the crater on the Moon.

The China National Space Administration (CNSA) spacecraft and unmanned exploration 4 (Chang'e 4) successfully landed on the South Pole - the Aitken basin . This is the largest, deepest and oldest crater on the surface of the Moon.

Since landing, this spacecraft has sent many images of the lunar surface. According to Cnet, on August 31, the self-propelled robot Rabbit Rabbit 2 discovered a strange mineral inside the crater, like 'gel'.

Earlier, a member of the Chang'e 4 group, when looking at images taken on the surface of the Moon, noticed that there was a strange color material, different from the surrounding gray soil.

The team quickly brought the Jade Rabbit 2 back to the crater to better see this object. Accompanying an adventurer robot is a device that can assess the composition of a material.

The team did not say what the mineral was and did not share additional images of this strange material. However, they did provide an image during the trip to the crater of the robot Rabbit Jade 2.

Many people think that this strange mineral is related to aliens. While some researchers say this could be molten glass created after the meteor's impact.

Hang Nga 4 is considered a major step of Beijing in its ambition to race for space exploration with Washington and Moscow. This exploration mission aims to collect detailed measurements of the lunar surface.

Many studies suggest that the Aitken basin was formed after a massive celestial collision during the early stages after the Moon formed. The collision may have brought many underground materials to the surface. Chinese scientists hope that Hang Nga 4 can through the ancient collision to understand more about the formation of Earth satellites.
