State-run newspaper said scientists are 'trying to figure out' what they mystery material is.
Scientists working on the Chang-e-4 mission were about to power down the rover for a"nap" when they noticed a crater with a strange material in one of the images sent back from Yutu-2's main camera.
There have been no updates since the original announcement of the"mysterious material," but People's Daily said researchers are currently analyzing it."Mission scientists are now trying to figure out what the mysterious material is," it tweeted."What do you think it is?" "The fact that it has been observed associated with a small impact crater, this finding could be extremely exciting as it would indicate that a very different material could just be hiding underneath the very top surface," he said."This would assume even a greater significance if these material turn out to have experienced interaction with water-ice ."
"The far side of the moon has unique features never before explored on site," Zou Yongliao, who is in charge of lunar exploration at the Chinese Academy of Sciences,at the time."The exploration of this virgin land by Chang'e-4 might bring breakthrough findings."
