China's Chang'e-5-lunar mission provides scientists with new insights into Moon's hidden interior

Beijing/Canberra, May 12 (UNI) Tiny green glass beads collected by China's Chang'e-5 lunar mission are providing scientists with unprecedented insights into the Moon's hidden interior, according to Chinese and Australian researchers on Monday.
Unlike typical lunar glass formed by surface impacts, these beads contain unusually high levels of magnesium, which was evidence of a potentially deeper origin, said a press release from Australia's Curtin University.
