The rover will need to explore more of its landing site to understand the mantle’s composition, but the first mission to the far side of the moon is already gathering crucial data. Because basalt contains both, researchers theorized that the mantle could contain olivine and pyroxene equally, rather than being dominated by one. Samples from deeper impacts within the basin revealed more olivine.

They had to zig-zag their lunar rover up and over the cliff face of the Lee-Lincoln fault scarp that cuts across this valley. The valley was explored in 1972 by the Apollo 17 mission astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt. Containing historical accounts and the latest observations from the field, in addition to exciting data from the Apollo manned missions, it describes the development of our current. Maria inherits a book of secrets from her dad. Secrets of the Moon: Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface provides a unique account of the origin of key features on the lunar surface. The revelation created shockwaves through the scientific community, which had been searching for definitive evidence of water for decades.

Shuai Li was still at university when he made one of the most groundbreaking discoveries about the moon in recent years: that water ice exists on the lunar surface. This is a view of the Taurus-Littrow valley taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. The Secret of Moonacre: Directed by Gabor Csupo.
