China is the first country to plant a flag on the dark side of the Moon

After the Chinese probe landed inside one of the oldest craters on the lunar surface on Sunday. After successfully collecting samples here on Earth, 'a Chinese national flag carried by the lander was hoisted for the first time on the far side of the Moon'.

The far side of the Moon is also known as the Dark Side of the Moon because it is not visible from Earth. Bringing samples here back to Earth is said to bring new opportunities for research.

China became the first country in the world to plant a flag on the Dark Side of the Moon and bring samples here to Earth.

Currently, China's unmanned Chang'e-6 probe, along with the first samples from the far side of the Moon, is on its way back to Earth. This is a great achievement for the space program of this billion-people country.

Currently, only the US and Russia have recovered samples from the Moon, landed and then taken off again. China's takeoff from the Moon was a technical achievement, demonstrating the impressive capabilities of China's space program.

Experts say samples brought back by the probe can provide information to help them learn about the formation and evolution of the Moon and the solar system, and the causes of differences between the near and far sides. distance of the Moon and provide clues about how the Earth formed and sustained life.

Chinese scientists expect the spacecraft to return to Earth around June 25, and will land in the desert of China's Inner Mongolia region.
