          Secret TREASURE buried on Moon is ‘precious’ prize that scientists say could be ‘profitable’ for whoever digs it up

          TREASURE could be lurking just out of sight on the Moon – just waiting to be extracted.

          That’s the idea put forward by scientists who say our lunar neighbour could be hiding a vast resource with “profitable” potential.

          The Moon isn’t perfectly smooth – it has plenty of craters that remain unexplored[/caption]

          A new paper suggests that the Moon may be hiding a large amount of platinum-group metals.

          That includes platinum itself, as well as other elements like rhdoium and palladium.

          Precious metals are rare and naturally occurring, and have high economic value and utility.

          And scientists think that there man be as many as 6,500 craters – more than a kilometre wide – containing platinum group metals.

          Scientists think they arrived on the Moon via asteroid impacts.

          And it gives hope to the prospect of space mining, which would expand humanity’s access to rare resources beyond what we have on Earth.

          “We estimate an upper limit of 6,500 craters with asteroid remnants containing significant amounts of platinum group metals,” the study reads, as published in the Planetary and Space Science journal.

          In the past, space mining interest has largely been focused on asteroids.

          The idea of mining asteroids is promising because space contains far more metal than we have on Earth.

          And mining is a damaging and polluting process that can often involve physical danger too.

          Scientists have been hunting for near-Earth asteroids that contain enough metal for it to be profitable to extract the ores and return them to Earth – even counting the cost of the mission.

          But now scientists suspect that an easier opportunity could be to simply mine the Moon instead, after surveying craters to determine which could have been created by ore-bearing asteroids.

          “These values are one to two orders of magnitude larger than the number of ore-bearing near-Earth asteroids,” said Jayanth Chennamangalam, the lead author on the study.

          “Implying that it may be more advantageous, and hence more profitable, to mine asteroids that have impacted the Moon.

          “Rather than the ones that are in orbit.”

          The study also suggests that there may be as many as 3,400 impact craters that contain water.

          This water, in the form of hydrated minerals, could be used by humans as we set up colonies on the Moon.

          Nasa is currently planning to send astronauts on a mission around the Moon on the Orion spacecraft using the Space Launch System.

          The Moon – our closest neighbour explained

          Here's what you need to know…

          • The Moon is a natural satellite – a space-faring body that orbits a planet
          • It’s Earth’s only natural satellite, and is the fifth biggest in the Solar System
          • The Moon measures 2,158 miles across, roughly 0.27 times the diameter of Earth
          • Temperatures on the Moon range from minus 173 degrees Celcius to 260 degrees Celcius
          • Experts assumed the Moon was another planet, until Nicolaus Copernicus outlined his theory about our Solar System in 1543
          • It was eventually assigned to a “class” after Galileo discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter in 1610
          • The Moon is believed to have formed around 4.51billion years ago
          • The strength of its gravitational field is about a sixth of Earth’s gravity
          • Earth and the Moon have “synchronous rotation”, which means we always see the same side of the Moon – hence the phrase “dark side of the Moon”
          • The Moon’s surface is actually dark, but appears bright in the sky due to its reflective ground
          • During a solar eclipse, the Moon covers the Sun almost completely. Both objects appear a similar size in the sky because the Sun is both 400 times larger and farther
          • The first spacecraft to reach the Moon was in 1959, as part of the Soviet Union’s Lunar program
          • The first manned orbital mission was Nasa’s Apollo 8 in 1968
          • And the first manned lunar landing was in 1969, as part of the Apollo 11 mission

          Nasa is hoping to return humans to the surface of the MOon as soon as 2027[/caption]

          That’s the Artemis II mission, which is expected to take place as soon as April 2026.

          And this is set to be followed by Artemis III, which will mark humanity’s return to the lunar surface.

          The last time humans set foot on the Moon was in December 1972, as part of the Apollo 17 mission.

          Artemis III is currently slated to take place in mid-2027.

          Upcoming Moon landings could pave the way for more permanent human settlement[/caption]

          Later Artemis missions will attempt to pave the way for more permanent human occupation of the Moon.

          And this could lead to lunar resource extraction, including water locked away in craters – and perhaps one day, even precious ore.
