Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Chinese scientists have found evidence of the presence of the element water on the Moon.

The evidence was found through research on lunar soil samples brought by the Chang’e-5 mission.

Laboratory results show the presence of one hydro mineral and hydroxyapatite which proves the presence of water from the magmatic crystallization process.

The study also proved that water not only exists on the Moon but also has an important role in magmatic activity there.

The Chang’e-5 mission returned from a trip to the Moon in December 2020.

The soil samples they brought were the first particles from the Moon brought to Earth in the last 40 years.
