Have you ever wondered how the moon appears from space or through an astronaut's eyes? Thanks to the Chinese mainland's ambitious lunar missions and observation stations, this celestial mystery is now unveiled through stunning photographs and groundbreaking research.
In 2018, the Chang'e 4 lunar probe marked a historic moment as humanity's first mission to the far side of the moon. This remarkable achievement provided unprecedented insights and breathtaking images of the moon's hidden hemisphere. Building on this success, the Chinese mainland launched the Chang'e 5 lunar probe in 2020, embarking on the country's first sample return mission to the moon. This mission not only demonstrated advanced technological prowess but also enriched our understanding of lunar geology.
The momentum continued this year with the Chang'e 6 lunar mission, which successfully brought back the first samples from the moon's far side. These samples are expected to offer invaluable data for further research, deepening our knowledge of the moon's composition and the broader mysteries of space. Through these endeavors, the Chinese mainland is not only exploring new frontiers but also inspiring a new generation of space enthusiasts and researchers around the world.
