Scientists have been able to determine the chemical composition and possible origin of the mysterious gel-like substance and have been a subject of research for them over the past few months.
Chinese scientists have discovered Dark green matter For the first time, during a vehicle trip “Yuto-2“, While exploring the terrain near the von Carman crater, a popular collision site on the far side of the moon.
A new analysis by a group of researchers confirms that Chinese Academy of Sciences, That the substance was not actually a gel, but rather a solid mineral glass complex, which was melted at a high temperature, due to the influence of an ancient asteroid.
The team said that the material is a type of rock that consists of metal fragments that are dissolved and cemented together, by some external forces, and added that the material “was formed by welding resulting from the collision.”
The material initially caught the attention of scientists, who oversee the “Yuto-2” vehicle, because of its difference from the soil surrounding the “von Carman” crater, according to a Newsweek report.
At that time, it was described as a dark green and “gel-like” because it appeared shiny and different from its surroundings on the moon, via space cameras.
And the American Journal suggested that the error in identifying what the material was previously caused by an error in translation from the original documents that you shared Chinese authorities.
While some have suggested that the substance be caused by volcanic activity, Chinese researchers later ruled that out, noting that the moon had not seen any active volcanoes for more than three billion years.

And Chinese scholars, The green matter they discovered above The surface of the moon, Is a glassy mixture of minerals melted together by an asteroid, according to the American magazine “Newsweek”, Thursday.
