Sharp-shaped

What lunar scientists are most excited about is the shape of it, which is different from other rocks on the moon.

According to Moriardi, regular lunar rocks are rounded due to “weather patterns on the lunar surface”.

Deep effects

Next, CNSA researchers plan to further explore the rock using the rover’s visible and nearby infrared imaging spectrometer to analyze the material composition.

Further analysis is needed to determine a more accurate look. But now Moriarty was saying so Space.com The rock is part of a meteorite impact – reminiscent of the ruined surface of the moon as a living geological environment, formed by the still more brutal asteroid impacts.
