BEIJING: CHINESE scientists have found remnants of meteorites on the far side of the moon that might reveal a major source of water.
A group of researchers at the State Key Laboratory of Space Weather, which is operated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ National Space Science Center, said it had recently identified some “glassy materials” inside a 2m crater in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon as remnants of a piece of carbonaceous chondrite that was not entirely vaporised when it struck the lunar surface.
