An unmanned Japanese spacecraft that landed on the moon last month has transmitted data on 10 lunar rocks that could provide clues about the origin of the moon.
The lunar mission is Japan's first. The spacecraft made a historic precision touchdown on Jan. 20, though it landed the wrong way up, with its solar panels initially unable to see the sun and was turned off after a brief communication with Earth. But on the eighth day, it started working, allowing it to successfully reestablish communication with the command center at JAXA on Earth.
