On July 28, the Chang'e-4 team was preparing to power Yutu-2 down for its usual midday "nap" to protect the rover from high temperatures and radiation from the sun high in the sky. A team member checking images from the rover's main camera spotted a small crater that seemed to contain material with a color and luster unlike that of the surrounding lunar surface.
The drive team, excited by the discovery, called in their lunar scientists. Together, the teams decided to postpone Yutu-2's plans to continue west and instead ordered the rover to check out the strange material. -NBC News
To analyze the material, Chinese scientists used the Yutu-2's Visible and Near-Infrared Spectrometer (VNIS), which can study materials based on they way light is scattered or reflected.
The tight-lipped Chinese have only said that the substance is "gel-like" and an "unusual color."
