You may be curious how the moon looks from space or from an astronaut's viewpoint. This is no longer a mystery, as China's lunar probe missions and observation stations have captured photos for further research.
The Chang'e 4 lunar probe was human's first ever mission to the far side of the moon in 2018. In 2020, China launched the Chang'e-5 lunar probe, which was the country's first sample return mission to the moon. This year, the Chang'e 6 lunar mission brought back the first samples from the far side of the moon.
