China was the first in the world to bring soil from the other side of the Moon

On June 25, China's Chan'e-6 probe returned soil samples collected on the far side of the Moon to Earth. The mission lasted 53 days. The spacecraft was launched to the moon on May 3 of this year. About a month later, on June 2, the rover landed on the far side of the Moon in the Apollo Crater near the South Pole and returned to collect soil samples. Thus, China became the first country to collect samples from the far side of the Moon and bring them to Earth.
