New discoveries on the "dark" side of the Moon

The first results of the last Chinese mission on the far side of the Moon have been published in "Nature": olivine and pyroxene would be present on our satellite as in the earth's mantle.
Now investigations shed new light on the processes of lunar formation and evolution on which there were no definite answers yet. Fabrizio Nestola, head of department of Geosciences at the University of Padova, illustrates the study (Chang’E-4 initial spectroscopic identification of lunar far-side mantle-derived materials)
