The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has released the first images captured by the Chang'e-6 probe following its historic landing on the far side of the moon on June 2. The images, unveiled on Tuesday, include three taken during the landing process and a panoramic view of the surrounding area.
\"The panoramic image reveals a remarkably flat landing area, confirming a well-chosen and safe location. In the distance, we can observe mountains, the edges of craters within the Apollo Basin that extend beyond the landing site,\" Ren Xin, a researcher from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), told China Media Group (CMG).
