One of the main challenges is figuring out how time behaves differently on the Moon than it does on Earth, which is something related to the science behind how gravity works, as explained by Einstein.

Earth's gravity briefly captured asteroid 2024 PT5, turning it into a temporary mini-moon. This rare event, lasting from September to November 2024, allows scientists to study space rocks up close.
