100 Lunar Days - Part II

The video discusses the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, which has significantly advanced lunar and planetary science by collecting data for over eight years. The Ella Rose High Resolution camera has imaged nearly the entire lunar surface, revealing new geological insights and potential exploration sites. The mission has also provided detailed studies of the moon's far side and its volcanic history. LRO has identified over 60 new impact craters, enhancing our understanding of lunar and planetary surfaces. These findings underscore the moon's importance in studying our solar system.

What is one of the major achievements of the LRO mission?

• Imaging almost the entire lunar surface at high resolution

• Measuring the temperature of the sun

• Mapping the entire surface of Mars

• Discovering new planets in the solar system

What new information did the LRO reveal about the Compton Berkovich Volcanic complex?

• It formed 3.7 billion years ago from a rare type of lava

• It has no volcanic activity

• It is made of a common type of lava

• It is the largest volcanic complex on Earth

How does the LRO contribute to our understanding of the lunar tide?

• By measuring the moon's temperature

• By observing the moon's surface flexing due to Earth's gravity

• By detecting water on Mars

• By studying the sun's gravitational pull

What significant discovery did the LRO make regarding lunar craters?

• It found craters filled with gold

• It found no new craters

• It identified craters on Mars

• It discovered over 60 new impact craters

What has the LRO detected inside deep craters at the lunar poles?

• Water ice

• Gold

• Lava

• Diamonds
