Discovered 'Titan' treasure on the Moon
The new map of the Moon shows that "Sister Hang" contains a large amount of titanium precious ore, 10 times the Earth. This finding, according to astronomers, could turn the Moon someday into a mining colony.

The moon can become a mining colony in the future.
The finding comes from a camera mounted on a probe around the US moon lunar US Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which swept across the Moon's surface, scrutinizing 'Sister' with seven other wavelengths of light together.
Mark Robinson, of Arizona State University, presented the study at a conference in Nantes, western France with Brett Denevi, working at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA.
They discovered the precious ore because of the soil samples taken by Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972 and pictures of the Apollo landing area taken by the Hubble telescope . 'Looking at the Moon, its surface seems to be coated with a gray paint, at least for the naked eye , ' said Robinson.
' But if you use standard equipment, the Moon may become colorful. The ground on the Moon in some locations has a reddish color, while in some other locations it is blue. '
'The color difference shows us a lot of important information about chemicals, about the evolution of the Moon's surface. They show that the Moon has a large reserve of titanium and iron, as well as the completion of the Moon's land. '
Titanium is as hard as steel but light as half steel, making it a popular metal and also very expensive.
On Earth, titanium is rare, accounting for only about 1% of similar ore samples. But the new Moon map shows that this substance has a lot, about 1-10%.
'Titan on the Moon is found mostly in mineral ilmenite, iron, titanium and oxygen compounds,' the researchers said. 'In the future, miners who live and work on the Moon can extract ilmenite to release these elements.'
'Furthermore, the data provided by Apollo shows that titanium-rich minerals store molecules in the solar wind, such as helium and hydrogen, more efficiently. These gases are also an important source for residents living on future moon colonies. '
