A green-tinged gel-like substance was spotted by China's Yutu-2 lunar rover in a crater after the Chang'e 4 mission landed on the far side of the Moon. According to the study conducted by the researchers, the substance is described as breccia, or specifically an impact melt breccia – a rock-like substance that forms when minerals and rocks get fused together. Breccia is formed when fragments of rocks or minerals get fused together.
