Chinese scientists discover mushrooshaped crystal growth pattern in Chang'5

The discovery of mushroom shaped crystal growth patterns in Chang'e 5 lunar samples is an important scientific finding.

Significance for understanding lunar processes
   These unique crystal growth patterns can provide insights into the lunar magmatic evolution. The way crystals grow is related to the conditions such as temperature, pressure, and chemical composition during the formation of lunar rocks. By studying these patterns, scientists can better understand the cooling history and the physical chemical environment of the lunar magma.
Contribution to lunar geology research
   It helps in reconstructing the geological history of the Moon. The characteristics of crystal growth can be used as "fingerprints" to distinguish different geological events and formation mechanisms on the Moon. This discovery also enriches our knowledge of lunar mineralogy and petrology, and may lead to new hypotheses and models about the Moon's internal structure and evolution.
