【新华社】嫦娥六号月背样品新研究成果改写月球撞击史

Core Viewpoint - Chinese scientists have optimized a decades-old lunar impact history model using samples from the far side of the Moon, confirming that the impact flux on both the near and far sides is essentially consistent, and that the early impact flux shows a smooth decline, which does not support the "Late Heavy Bombardment" hypothesis [1] Group 1 - The research was conducted by scientists from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics and the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences [1] - The study utilized samples from the Chang'e 6 mission along with lunar remote sensing images to revise the long-standing lunar impact crater chronology model [1] - The findings indicate that the impact flux on the Moon's near and far sides is fundamentally similar, challenging previous assumptions about lunar bombardment history [1]
