It also found that there were a lot more holes on its backside, too.
, China’s announcing a new discovery from its lunar rover: the backside of the Moon is surprisingly sticky.that revealed new data about the lunar surface gathered by the Yutu-2 rover. The
takeaway? The lunar regolith — soil, basically — on the Moon’s far side, which always faces away from the Earth, is stickier than the soil on the visible near side. The team reached the finding after noticing that chunks of lunar soil kept sticking to the rover’s wheels. They believe this might be because the surface on the far side "resembles dry sand and sandy loam on Earth," according to the paper.The researchers also discovered that the far side had a lot of relatively small craters. The report included data gathered from 88 craters, with 57 measuring less than 33 feet in diameter and two craters measuring roughly 200 feet in diameter.
