up so now asked for notes improves brought in any 400 kilograms of moving. welcome back to us. where on the moon did they come from? and how have they changed how we view all places? celeste, still neva. them one is to the moon, is a history book that allows us to look far back into the passcode. could this some post from china's 2020 full moon mission to throw out new mysteries? it's my gun. see how the moon is still good for a surprise or 2? we know a little scientist, appetites have been wedded, but lunar research still has a long way to go. no, mister flushed the girl july. 1969 apollo astronauts set off on the 1st mission to land on the moon, the destination and luna plane on the side of it that faces us. good
4:17 pm
rate or data. there was no way to print just a landing with the spacecraft. touch down safely or sink deep into dust and tip of the land and the amount 6 around 600000000 people watched the historic events on television. neil armstrong and buzz. aldrin spent 2 and a half hours on the lunar surface. they carried das experiments and collected almost 22 kilograms of rocks to bring back to us. traces of the mission to still visible on the satellite sites, take them today. nasa sent 6 crude space, such as i know the names face. on the 1st flights the focus was less on collecting
4:18 pm
samples and more on landing, safely in slash areas. laser trip schools say target to the areas that were more difficult to reach the fitful, the apollo emissions landed on the near side of the main times to it's quite so easy to suppose to be imagined if you had to describe the earth's geology based on just a few landing sites, you wouldn't see much, and it's the same for us with the moon's. the more landing sites and the more samples we have from different sites, the better it is in the end is high. what's going on? on the opponent 15 mission expanded some reasons. it's afternoon. so able to explore extensively for the 1st time with a new know, reza and they collected much more involved in that predisposes
4:19 pm
from a wide range of sites. so the last mission in the series, apollo 17, was the 1st with a scientist on board. oh, wait a minute. geology harrison just makes or borrow well. he made a surprising discovery, orange material. amidst all the gray. it was the groundbreaking insights through one vector. in total, the apollo astronauts built more than 380 kilograms of moving. welcome back to us from 6 landing sites, the, the largest chunk is nick named big muley. like most of the other materials from the apollo emissions. it's a to nasa facility in houston lab. some posts are stored in nitrogen to protect
4:20 pm
them from moist. yeah. the balloonist samples give her such as glimpses into a fall distant past mid. yeah, cuz i'm going to put all of the hollow samples, allow us to look back about 4400000000 years or time, of course, very close to the formation of the planets. we think earth formed 4500000000 years ago. so that means we're very, very close to saying what happened in the beginning from the china is chunk of fine flu, deprived, launched in november 2020 its mission to bring some pulse back to us around 5 decade south to the last depaula emissions the the targeted location was specifically chosen to provide missing data understanding gaps and what we already know. chunk of 5 landed in a volcanic area and collected almost 2 kilograms of dustin dro,
4:21 pm
so the long journey has its success. a chunk of 6 was launched at the beginning of may 2024, to collect trucks for the 1st time from the fall side of the mood. geologists have been eager to have them for decades. the in labs here on us main rocks could be examined with a range of highly sensitive methods, able to precisely determine the age and composition. even just looking at the genetic light to microscope told experts and lots about the rocks, history, and development. the composition of the minerals and this size showed, for example, what depths the rock crystallized and how quickly it cooled, the the very 1st apollo
4:22 pm
samples changed of view of ops on it. they contained 3 previously unknown minerals . it later turned out that these luna minerals also exist on us quite rat. the most of the samples are well documented photos and sensor lights. images have been made of the sites they were taken from the surroundings. the, with this data, research has developed a message for determining the age of various pumps of the main surface. the larger and more numerous, the crate is off. the old to the area is becoming constant more. i can date the entire moon using this method even when no humans have ever walked on a particular surface itself. and i can also apply the method to other so last job i
4:23 pm
bodies of so i can also date, mercury in mars. i can date the surface of an asteroid, and econ, as the reading or pollution that to you, in the luminous pulse of given us insights into the early days of us over the system. they can be used for instance, to reconstruct when the nascent plants was struck. by asteroids and comments, and how heavy the bombardment was on us tectonic movement drives throughout underground, where it mounts in raising traces of our planet. sadly, history, both to vegetation and at all. so all to the surface the samples collected even revealed the secret as the origin of all moving in the borrower tree. it turns out that the moon rocks with very similar to terrestrial rocks. the until then there was several series about where on the moon came from. now its rocks
4:24 pm
revealed, the she was actually positive us the, the evidence indicates that move in 4 and a half 1000000000 years ago, a mazda sized celeste deal body great style planets hop material from both parties was held into space. this eventually foamed looking for an almost 50. i've thought that the cooling of the moon's crossed a certain deformation of its upper crust, happens very quickly now, 50000000 years after the collision of the quarter stuart. this geologically, that's very fast for this. of course, these are dimensions that we humans can't really imagine force there. and it certainly days the moon was bon bonded heavily. the impacts less behind knowledge crates as which relate to flow data by rising maxima or the rep
4:25 pm
cools and forms the doc crate is that gives the moon its face. the decades off to the apollo emissions researches retrieve the samples from the archives and examined them using new methods. in this number, they may have actually discovered the oldest us roque as the meteor writes, possibly held it from the still young us towards the moon. where it fused with this woke in another impact, another groundbreaking discovery was made in the orange colored material collected by apollo, 17 glass beads containing lou. now most have been wonderful. if we were to assume that the water came from the earth,
4:26 pm
then it would naturally collect on the surface of the glass be so not inside them as in. so in this respect, we are very sure that we actually have water from the moon in these little glass beads and in class condition turn volcanic eruptions pro, do no more to with the maxima to the means surface. in the frigid vacuum, the hot drop plants instantly froze into glass beads, trapping the water inside the samples from the chinese pro chung of 5. also he had some surprises. researches have discovered even more so in them than in the apollo rocks embedded in glasgow. appeals that were formed during meets your rights impacts. they full more to release it again and might even drive a luna water cycle or all these discoveries have made the
4:27 pm
moon interesting again, service such as after world war 2 is the most important results to crude space travel the one area in particular on the fall side of the moon has interested planet tree geologist, so decades rocks from that and now allowing them to look even further back in times . in napa, the south pole 8 can base and is almost 2500 kilometers in diameter and about flushing. columbus is deep, the it foamed mold in full 1000000000 years ago when a huge asteroid crushed into the mainland. that shot to dates crossed until its material f onto this fist from the palais as of rock. its material that could
4:28 pm
provide new insights into the us. the reason let me know, i don't know exactly what the 1st rocks on earth looked like, nor do we know exactly how old the earth is. and only the moon could tell us that more. that means looking into the past. and if we have manual material from the move, and then we also know what magnet was composed of right at the very beginning. but back when the earth was very young and the moon formed in summer, the maxima, 400 people, the apollo crate is located in the a can base and china's most recent luna pro, chunk of 6, retrieve some polls from this crater full robots worked together to make that possible. the space pro reach the moon's old, which in early may 2024. it took just on to 3 weeks to touch down at its destination and drop off the land to write books which reached the lunacy face of
4:29 pm
june. the 1st months in advance, a relay satellite was positioned and luna obits to transmit the data to us radios. taking those comp reach the false side of the moon directly using a special digging device. and a drill the line to a robot collected around 2 kilograms of rocks on polls, the a transpose, and then carried that precious call. go back to the probe which brought the rock to us, the geologist, several, reggie, eagerly awaiting data. the full of them may just space faring nations now have luna times in the coming decades stations that to be billed to the south pole crude missions will reveal in even more detail how the moon was full. and then most of us looked like around 4
4:30 pm
and a half 1000000000 years ago. the the, in all its glory, they know to don cathedral in paris, reopens to the public luminous. lor discover of christmas traditions. you probably don't know yet. and behind bars. how would you feel as a guest in a prison restaurant, these stories and more coming up on your own max, the .
