China’s Chang’e 4 lander finds gel-like substance on the far side of the moon

China’s Chang’e 4 mission is currently exploring one of the lesser-known areas of the moon — the far side, which faces away from Earth. Previously it found minerals which may have come from deep beneath the lunar surface, and now it has found something even stranger: An oddly-colored “gel-like” substance of unknown origin.

The mission consists of not only the Chang’e 4 lander, but also a smaller rover called Yutu-2. It was Yutu-2 which stumbled across the unexpected blobby mystery, as reported by space.com. The discovery occurred on lunar day 8, or July 25 here on Earth, and it was so intriguing to the mission scientists that they chose to suspend other exploration plans to learn more about the unknown substance. The information about the finding comes originally from a Chinese language publication called Our Space.

Interesting. It will be even more interesting when they get more info.

There is no far side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all far.

Makes sense. Moon based corporations dump all their toxic waste on the dark side to hide it and keep up the charade that there is no life on the moon.

Anyway thats my conspiracy and I’m sticking to it...until something else fun comes along.

Probably a garbage dump by one of our Apollo missions.

....found something even stranger: An oddly-colored “gel-like” substance of unknown origin....

oddly colored ? Like purple, orange, green, taupe?

Unknown origin...like the moon...Lol

They're in the wrong spot. They need to be checking out the Tycho Crater area.

I find it interesting that they say they put their lander on the side never visible from Earth. I wouldn’t trust anything they say about this.

I was about to post the same thought. They “found this on the moon”....sure they did.

[imardmd1]

They can say anything they want. Nobody else can prove otherwise. /s

Could it be the long-sought "gender fluid" that drives the Left?

Actually, it's interesting that anything would be "gel-like" at lunar farside temperatures.
