Our Moon is by far the easiest natural, extraterrestrial celestial object for us to reach, and many space agencies, in particular the China National Space Administration, have publicized plans for manned missions ther...
Gravitational redshift,theoretically predicted by Einstein,is considered a crucial test of general relativity(GR);it constitutes a test of the local position invariance(LPI)aspect of Einstein’s equivalence principle....
This study focuses on the physical and chemical properties of surficial lunar regolith(LR)samples returned from the Moon by the Chang’E-5(CE-5)mission.Insights regarding the effect of a new sampling geological site o...
