Scientific paper

This article addresses unexpected discoveries in recent lunar exploration, including the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA), a thorium 'hot spot' in the Imbrium Basin, hydrogen (possibly water ice) at the lunar poles, and the contrast between the appearance of lunar soil samples and remote imagery of the lunar surface. It also summarizes the history of manned and unmanned lunar exploration, from the Apollo program to Clementine and Lunar Prospector in the 1990s. A section at the end of the article addresses the importance of lunar samples.
