Studying our own galaxy is surprisingly difficult.First,because the Milky Way covers such a large portion of the sky that studying it can take a very long time;and second,because Astromomers must peer through thick dust that obscures distant starlight.Infrared light can pass through that dust and is a key tool for learning about the far side of our galaxy.
Cosmology is the study of the origin and structures of the universe.

The mission was largely a scientific success,including the first ever radio telescope on the Moon,which gathered data both in transit to the Moon and on the lunar surface.The instrument which didn't work right was the Plume Surface Studies,whose goal was to image the engine exhaust plume as it churned up dust on the lunar surface.Its secondary goal was to image the exposed fresh surface below the lander throughout the lunar day for science investigations.It wasn't able to collect data on descent this time,but we were able to test it in space,as well as after landing to help prepare for its next mission,which will be on the Firefly spacecraft.
