The 2024 Chang’e-6 lunar mission has yielded groundbreaking findings about the moon’s hidden history - Latest new analysis of the returned far-side rocks suggests that part of the moon’s deep interior was stripped of important chemical ingredients more than 4 billion years ago – likely during a giant asteroid impact. The research was published as four open-access papers on Wednesday in Nature, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious scientific journals, which is headquartered in London. The collision was so powerful it not only carved out a 2,500km-wide (1,550-mile) crater on the moon’s far side
