China's Chang'e 6 mission successfully retrieved samples from the far side of the moon, marking the first-ever return of materials from this region.
This achievement highlights China's growing capabilities in space exploration.
The samples collected from the lunar South Pole-Aitken Basin could provide valuable insights into lunar geology and history, potentially shedding light on the formation and evolution of the moon.
They may also help solve mysteries regarding the differences between the moon's near side and far side.
The mission underscores a new phase in the global space race, with China positioning itself as a significant player alongside the U.S. and other nations in establishing future lunar outposts.
