🚀 Big reveal from the Chinese mainland’s space authorities! After Chang’e-6 touched down on the Moon’s far side, scientists dug into the lunar basalt samples (aka volcanic rock) and discovered something cool—literally. The mantle beneath the far side is cooler than what’s under the near side. 🌕❄️
Why does it matter? Think of the Moon like a layered cake: each layer tells a story of its formation and evolution. By studying temperature differences, researchers get fresh clues about the Moon’s internal structure and volcanic history. It’s like unlocking hidden chapters in our cosmic neighbor’s biography! 🔍
This breakthrough not only boosts our understanding of lunar science but also showcases Asia’s growing footprint in space exploration. For young tech enthusiasts hustling in cities from Delhi to Jakarta, it’s proof that our region is shaping the future—on Earth and beyond. 🌏✨
So next time you stare up at the Moon, remember: there’s more to it than meets the eye (or telescope). Stay tuned for more space adventures! 🚀🌙
