U.S. probe found imprints of human activity on the Moon
Baku, September 7 (AZERTAC). One of the heads of the scientific mission, "Lunar orbital reconnaissance," a professor of geology at the University of Arizona, Mark Robinson, said the pictures were actually made from a height of 21-24 thousand feet above the surface of the satellite. "One can see the path trodden by astronauts - he said. - It`s amazing. " The pictures may consider Coiled modules ship "Apollo 12", "Apollo 14" and "Apollo 17" last koy brought people to the moon in 1972. Distinguishable fingerprints wheels lunar terrain vehicles abandoned there and the data machine, and packs more personal support systems and pieces of shielding, ITAR-TASS. Mark Robinson singled out, in fact 40 years of lunar dust hid fingerprints of the person. "For this, perhaps, it takes about 10 million to 100 million years" - in his opinion. NASA issued a day before the intended pictures received on September 8, starting Laboratory for the Study of the gravitational field and the internal construction of the Moon. It consists of two identical units, koie for several months will be circling around the Earth`s satellite, accounting for gravity maps and exploring its geologic texture, such as the nucleus, which is supposed to stand out from the core of the Earth in composition. Scientists are waiting for, actually using dannyeh units will increase a thousand times more polished maps of the lunar gravity. Another one purpose - to regard probable reserves on the moon right resources.
