The evidence: three tiny glass beads plucked from the surface of the moon and brought to Earth in 2020 by a Chinese spacecraft. Their chemical makeup indicates that there were active lunar ...

About 3.8 pounds (1.7 kg) of soil were collected in the Chang'e-5 mission, with 32 glass beads - tens to hundreds of micrometers wide - examined in the study from the small amount of soil made ...

Trillions of pounds of water may be strewn across the moon, trapped in tiny glass beads that could have formed when asteroids struck the lunar surface, according to a new study. The findings, laid ...

China’s Chang’e 5 rover has found tiny glass beads containing water in an impact crater on the Moon. Samples collected from a 2020 mission found beads with water content as high as 2,000 parts ...

Specifically, the impact glass beads scientists extracted from the soils that China's Chang’e 5, or CE5, lunar mission collected. The beads are “the quenched mixture of lunar surface material produced ...

Shiny glass beads from the Moon are bringing scientists one step closer to understanding how future astronauts might survive the seemingly barren lunar terrain, and how the Solar System evolves today.

These glass beads, obtained by Chang’e-5 on the moon, may be no more than tens of micrometers in diameter. Beijing SHRIMP Center, Institute of Geology, CAGS ...
