As the person Iargia stepped on twenty-five years ago, we had forgotten our satellite, but there is still something to investigate. On January 25, NASA sent a probe called "Clementine" to unravel its mysteries. The origin and volcanism of the Moon are also the points to be investigated, obtaining a precise surface composition.

Currently the impacts of the asteroids are in pil pil, a topic that must also be analyzed by the probe "Clementine". This May leaves the orbit of the Moon and at the end of August you will visit Geographos, a rock three or four kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide that moves through space.
