Exploring the Hidden Depths of the Moon: China's Yutu 2 Rover Unveils Surprising Discoveries

China's Yutu 2 rover, part of the Chang'e 4 mission, has provided data that reveals deep layers below the surface of the far side of the moon. Using its ground penetrating radar, the rover has detected multiple layers up to 1,000 feet below the surface, indicating basalt eruptions that occurred billions of years ago. The data suggests that volcanic activity decreased over time as the moon's internal thermal energy diminished. This study, along with previous research, provides insights into the geological history of the moon's upper layers. China's Chang'e 6 mission next year aims to collect samples from the far side of the moon.
