The network has information about an extremely unusual find of a Chinese lunar rover. As it turned out, he managed to find a very strange monolith on the surface of a natural satellite of the Earth. Scientists already have several versions about the origins of its appearance.
So, according to one version, a piece of stone appeared on the surface quite recently as a result of a rock split from a meteorite impact, writes Space.com. To call youth the reason for its appearance is an extremely logical move. After all, if the monolith were older, it would have long ago been sharpened as a result of many different processes taking place on the surface of the Moon.
To test the basic theory, scientists intend to bring the lunar rover close and use the VNIS spectrometer. With its help, experts will be able to determine the composition of the material. And if the researchers find out that the breed came to the satellite from the outside, then they will have a new goal - to look around the area and try to understand where it came from.
