That’s at least what some local researchers claim. Jakub Ciążela and his team from the Institute of Geological Sciences developed a project that aims to search for minerals on the Moon using the so-called far infrared radiation. I had him on the line in the southern city of Wrocław to find out more about this exciting idea.
