China 's Chang'e 6 mission found there's less water in the mantle beneath the farside of the moon.

The findings bolster the theory that the moon formed when a giant, Mars -size protoplanet slammed into the young Earth about 4.5 billion years ago .

The lander's robotic drill and scoop collected 4.27 lbs ( 1.935 kilograms ) of basaltic regolith from the SPA basin before returning it to Earth .

The analysis of the Chang'e 6 samples was reported on April 9 in the journal Nature .

Despite being as dry as a bone, the moon's farside continues to be one of endless fascination.
