However, the intrigue surrounding this mission extends far beyond this accomplishment.The landing site, near the Shioli crater , approximately 200 miles south of the historic Apollo 11's Sea of Tranquility site, holds a treasure trove of scientific potential that has the global scientific community buzzing with excitement.
