Scientists Planning to make moon like surface on Earth ESA shared video watch

Moon on Earth: Do scientists want to create a new moon for Earth? This question has arisen from the latest video of the European Space Agency (ESA). ESA shared a video on its social media handle on Tuesday. It revealed a plan to recreate the Moon's surface on Earth. It was told that for this ambitious project, a group of scientists from UK and Germany have collaborated with a mine in Greenland. The mine will provide a rock that has the properties of material found on the lunar surface.

What material will the moon's surface be made of?

Anorthosite will be used to create a moon-like surface on Earth. It is a light colored igneous rock. Only Greenland's mine will deliver this rock.

Why is there a need for a moon-like surface on Earth?

Space agencies around the world are busy sending their missions to the Moon. In future, there is a plan to keep scientists on the moon for a long time. To familiarize the scientists with the conditions and environment on the Moon, there is a plan to create a Moon-like surface on Earth and train the scientists in it.

There will be many more experiments

Scientists will also do many more experiments by creating a moon-like surface on Earth. He will find out what needs to be done to make oxygen, water and building materials on the moon.

ESA is building two testbeds

It is told in the video that the European Space Agency is preparing two testbeds. The first will simulate the area of ​​the Moon, where there are huge lava fields. In the second, the dusty surface of the Moon will be prepared using about 20 tons of anorthosite.

but there are some questions too

Reacting to this video, a user wrote that 'The big problem on the Moon is regolith and its gravity. How will the spacewalk on the Moon be carried out on Earth? How will people's health be affected on the Moon? How will it be tested on Earth?
