1, real material, hard work
As we all know, our Chang 'e-5 lunar probe landed on the front of the moon. We have launched four probes to the moon before, and Chang 'e-4 stayed on the dark side of the moon. On June 5438+February 65438+July, 2020, our Chang 'e-5 returner has carried the moon sample and re-entered the ground in a semi-ballistic jump way.
On September 9th, on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional festival in China, scientists in China first discovered new minerals on the moon and named them? Chang 'e Stone? And stored in a storage device carried by the lifter. Now it has been packed and shipped back, so our lunar exploration project is by no means a morale project with symbolic significance greater than practical significance. It is a practical action with real materials.
2. The sixth new mineral has far-reaching significance.
And then what? Chang 'e Stone? The discovery of new minerals in the sixth month also made China the third country to discover new minerals on the moon, which went down in history. Scientists say it exists in basalt particles on the moon? Chang 'e Stone? Phosphate minerals is a columnar crystal, and this columnar crystal is our scientific researcher. Through a series of high-tech means such as X-ray diffraction on the detector, a single crystal particle with a particle size of about 10 micron was separated from140 thousand moon sample particles. So let's think about how difficult it is!
And then what? The discovery of new minerals provides more basic scientific data for the formation and evolution of the moon and deepens human understanding of the moon and the solar system. Therefore, the discovery of Chang 'e Stone is a milestone in our lunar exploration project, making China the third country in the world to retrieve lunar samples and discover new lunar minerals. The discovery of Chang 'e Stone, together with other achievements of previous lunar exploration projects in China. Understand the origin and evolution of the moon and explore the effective utilization and realization of lunar resources? Zero energy consumption? Extraterrestrial environment and life support system have important enlightenment significance. ?
