Core Insights - The research results from the Chang'e 6 lunar samples have garnered significant attention in the international academic community, challenging long-established hypotheses and theories in lunar science [1][2] - The Chang'e 6 mission marks a pivotal moment for China's lunar research, transitioning from a "follower" to a leading position in the field [1] Group 1 - The Chang'e 6 mission successfully collected 1935.3 grams of lunar soil from the far side of the moon, initiating a new era in lunar sample research and establishing a foundation for China's prominence in lunar studies [1] - Chinese scientists have made numerous scientific breakthroughs using the Chang'e 6 lunar samples, including insights into the physical, mineral, and geochemical characteristics of the samples [2] - The mission has provided a new understanding of the distribution of lunar basalt and has allowed for the precise dating of the South Pole-Aitken basin's formation at 4.25 billion years ago, enhancing knowledge of early solar system impact history [2] Group 2 - Chinese scientists aim to establish a "Chinese school" of lunar research, leveraging the unique samples from the moon's far side to contribute original and groundbreaking findings in the field [2] - The ongoing success of China's lunar exploration program is expected to transition the country's planetary science from a "follower" to a "runner" position, potentially leading in certain areas and enriching humanity's understanding of the universe [2]

Group 1 - The research team led by Li Chunlai from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully constructed a high-precision terrain dataset of the Chang'e 6 landing area using high-resolution images captured by the spacecraft [1] - The study published in Nature Communications provides detailed geological information about the landing site, including soil roughness, crater shapes, regolith thickness, and rock abundance, which are crucial for subsequent laboratory studies of lunar samples [1][2] - The Chang'e 6 landing point is located on the southwestern edge of a crater with a diameter of approximately 51 meters, indicating that the area is part of the basalt region of the lunar mare [1] Group 2 - The landing area is characterized by numerous impact ejecta patterns, with the soil composition identified as a "mixed formula" consisting of approximately 30%-35% local basalt from the nearby C1 crater and 5-16 centimeters of foreign material possibly sourced from more distant craters [2] - This research provides critical scientific evidence regarding the material sources of the Chang'e 6 lunar samples, laying the groundwork for future laboratory research and detailed analysis of lunar samples [2]

今年4月，中国国家航天局发布嫦娥五号任务月球样品国际借用申请结果，同意6个国家的7家机构的申请。当地时间12日，总台记者走进接收月球样品的巴 黎地球物理研究所，在这里，月球样品引燃了法国科学家的研究热情。 0:00 总台记者 朱雪松：这里是巴黎地球物理研究所实验室，法国科学家正在用这台仪器通过同位素检测的方式，对来自中国的月球样本深入分析，这就好比给 月球样本做了一次全身的CT扫描，以还原他在数十亿年前的形成与演化过程。 巴黎地球物理研究所教授 弗雷德里克·穆瓦尼耶：我的预期是嫦娥五号月球样品的表现可能和阿波罗样品相似，如果相似，就说明我们或许可以得到一个关 于整个月球的完整故事。如果结果不同，虽然我不清楚会不会这样，但是结果不同可能更有意思，这意味着月球内部的性质可能不像地球一样。 穆瓦尼耶教授认为，中国在太空科研领域有独特优势。如今，随着嫦娥样品进入法国实验室，中法科学家之间的协作将继续深化。 巴黎地球物理研究所教授 弗雷德里克·穆瓦尼耶：因为嫦娥五号月球样品，也因为我在中国有很多出色的学生，他们现在已成为教授，我每年都去中国很多 次参加交流和会议。 巴黎地球物理研究所的穆瓦尼耶教授亲自将嫦娥五号采集的月 ...
