Solar energetic particles may have significantly altered the soil properties in the moon’s coldest craters through the process of sparking. Chang’e-2 mission returns first images China on Monday unveiled photos taken by its second lunar probe of the moon’s surface, marking the success of the mission. There is no official plan for a manned landing yet, but earlier reports quoted top scientists as saying that China will be able to send men to the moon around 2025.

This is the first time scientists have tried to … The new moon map is made up of many high-resolution photos snapped by China's second lunar probe — the Chang'e 2 orbiter — and stitched together into complete view.

The largest impact feature on the Moon is not one of the prominent "seas" that face the Earth, but the huge SPA Basin on the farside. “With such a high resolution, it means that from the pictures you can tell a pit of 4 meters in diameter on the moon or a rock with a diameter of 3 meters,” Yan said.

The Chang'e 2 mission made a special point of examining a region of the moon's northern hemisphere known as Sinus Iridium (Bay of Rainbows), which is a top contender for China's first robotic moon landing. China has released the most detailed map yet of the moon using images from its Chang'e 2 lunar orbiter. The Chang’e-2 probe was launched on Oct 1 and went into orbit eight days later. It shows the surface is “quite flat” with craters and rocks of different sizes and a large hole with a 2-km diameter, a statement by the administration said.
