Discover a strange substance at the back of the moon

The Chinese probe "Yoto-2" during the exploration operations carried out on the surface of the back side of the moon is an unknown material in one of the craters.

According to the Daily Mail, the rover observed during his exploration on the back side of the moon in one of the craters an unknown foreign substance and his images and was sent with the other images to the ground at the end of the month of July.

The Visible and Near Infrared Spectrometer VNIS (Infrared Spectrometer) can determine the structure of objects by reflected light. Scientists were unable to determine the composition of the material discovered, claiming only that "the color is unusual" and has a "gel structure".
