China's Chang'e-6 Returns First Far Side Moon Samples

The mission marks a historic achievement in lunar exploration, providing unique insights into the moon's composition.

Chang'e-6 successfully landed in Inner Mongolia with samples from the moon's far side.
This mission is the first to return samples from the hemisphere that faces away from Earth.
The South Pole-Aitken basin, the landing site, is one of the oldest and largest impact craters in the solar system.
The samples may reveal differences in the moon's near and far sides and offer clues about early solar system history.
China's space program continues to demonstrate significant advancements in space exploration technology.
