China has etched its name in history after its Chang’e-6 lunar probe landed back on Earth on June 25 in the northern Chinese region of Inner Mongolia. It has now become the first country to bring back samples from the far side of the moon.

As per the state media CCTV, the capsule landed at 2:07 pm Beijing time. It carried with it the lunar soil collected earlier in June by the probe after it landed on the Moon’s South Pole-Aitken Basin. The drop location is an impact crater on the side of the Moon which is always facing away from us.
