Summary
The Chang'e mission has yielded new samples that illustrate the evolution of organic matter on the lunar surface. This research is pivotal in understanding the moon's geological history.
Key elements necessary for life, such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur, are believed to have been delivered to both Earth and the moon by asteroids and comets during the early solar system.
These findings enhance our comprehension of how essential life elements arrived on the moon, offering a clearer picture of the processes that shaped its environment.
