Tiny X-Ray Telescope Could Unlock The Moon's Hidden Chemistry

Tiny X-Ray Telescope Could Unlock The Moon's Hidden Chemistry Authored by Tokyo Metropolitan University via ScienceDaily, Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have used simulations to show that a small, newly developed X-ray telescope could help create a chemical map of the entire lunar surface. Such a map would be a major step toward understanding how the Moon formed, changed, and evolved over time. A new compact X-ray telescope could help scientists produce the first-ever complete map of the Moon’s chemical makeup.
