China Makes Historic Landing on the Mysterious Far Side of the Moon

In a landmark achievement, China's Chang'e-6 lunar lander has successfully touched down in the South Pole-Aitken Basin, a region located on the far side of the moon. This mission marks a significant milestone in lunar exploration, as Chang'e-6 embarks on its crucial task of collecting samples from the lunar surface. These samples are expected to provide valuable insights into the moon's geology and the history of the solar system, further advancing our understanding of Earth's celestial neighbor.

The South Pole-Aitken Basin, the oldest known impact crater in the solar system, is believed to have excavated material from the lunar mantle. Retrieving this material could provide scientists with valuable insights into the Moon's interior history. The Chang’e-6 mission’s sample return aims to illuminate the early evolution of the Moon and the inner solar system.
