Scientists work together with robotic helpers like NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to create detailed maps of the Moon’s temperature, radiation environment, chemical signatures, and more. We use clues like these to learn what the Moon is like now and how it is evolving over time. (Wait, what? Where's the |
