Approximately 50 years later, the Earth samples brought from the Moon to Earth for the first time were borrowed by China to England. Samples were protected in a high -security laboratory.
Professor Mash Anand, the only scientist who is allowed to work with this rare soil in the UK, describes the lunar dust as “more valuable than gold dust”.
According to the BBC: Anand and his team plans to analyze the substances in the dust and investigate how the Moon is formed and the clues of the Early Earth.
Scientists think that this dust can contain evidence of the origin of the Moon, which is composed of remnants of the Earth’s collision with a Mars -sized planet.
Earth samples were collected in China with a spacecraft landing in 2020 in the Volcanic Mons Rumker region of the Moon within the scope of Chang’s 5 mission. The vehicle brought about 2 kilograms of material from the surface to the Earth.
