China’s Chang’e 6 lunar probe returns to Earth with first samples from moon’s far side

A gumdrop-looking metal probe lies in a field with the Chinese flag flying nearby and a man in a red jacket and red baseball cap in the distance.

China’s Chang’e 6 probe landed in the Inner Mongolian region in northern China on Tuesday with rock and soil samples from the little-explored far side of the moon, in a global first.
