NASA has proposed shooting at the moon to further our understanding of what it's made of.

The out-of-this-world plan would involve an astronaut or rover using a special gun to shoot sensors into the soil.

These sensors would be miniaturized spectrometers, which would use a special type of diffraction called Fresnel diffraction.

The moon's regolith is the layer of loose, fragmented material made up of a variety of materials.
