China brought 2 kg of stone and soil from Chandira's yard
Beijing: China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe successfully returned to Earth on Tuesday carrying 2 kg of rock and soil from the other side of the moon, which is not visible to Earth. China has become the first country in the world to achieve this feat by collecting samples from the other side of the Moon, which has not been explored much. China's Chang-6 spacecraft landed at the specified area in Mongolia Autonomous Region of North China at 2.07 pm (Beijing time). The China National Space Agency (CNSA) announced that the mission was a success. Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated the scientists.
In August 2023, India landed Chandrayaan-3 at the South Pole of the Moon. But China is the only country that has landed on the other side of the moon. That country had achieved the same in 2019 as well. Compared to the part of the moon visible from Earth, the other part is far away and technically challenging for scientists due to large craters and flat areas. Chang-6 spacecraft was launched on May 3. China also collected samples from the lunar surface (the part visible to Earth) as part of the Chang-5 project.
