The name of the rocket is 2014-065B, which was a booster of the Chinese Moon mission ‘Chang’e 5-T1’ launched in 2014. Astronomer Jonathan McDowell has also tweeted about this. He has been presenting his side with the demand to regulate the waste spread in the space. Jonathan has said that the problem is due to the lack of better tracking of things in space. Astronomers say they should have noticed some strange things in orbit. At the same time, NASA said in late January that it would try to observe the crater formed by the explosion of this thing.
Talk about China’s Chang’e 5 Lunar Lander that went to the Moon, so it has discovered important evidence related to water there. This lander has found the first on-site evidence of water on the surface of the Moon. This explains why the Moon is dry even after the presence of water. The study, published last month in the peer-reviewed journal Science Advances, showed that the soil at the Moon’s landing site contained 120 parts-per-million (ppm) of water. That is, there is 120 grams of water in one ton of soil. The water content here is 180ppm in light and vesicular rock. It is much smaller than Earth. Because of this the Moon is more dry.
Earlier, the presence of water in the Moon was confirmed through remote observation, but now the lander has found signs of water in the rocks and soil there. An instrument aboard the Lunar lander measured the spectral reflectivity of regolith and rock and detected the presence of water on the spot for the first time.
