THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF REGOLITH AT THE MOON'S SOUTH POLE, ACCORDING TO DATA OF LUNAR PROSPECTOR AND LUNAR RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER MISSIONS. ... Introduction: The article tells about the results of integrated study of the craters at the Moon's South Pole with permanently shadowed region of craters. ... We have compared the ultimate composition of the soil matters in the craters with "cold traps" in the Moon's South Pole with regard to thorium, ferric oxide and hydrogen contents (Fig. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
