Chang'e 6 brought rocks from the far side of the Moon back to Earth − a planetary scientist explains what this sample could hold

Summary

Nutrition label

87% Informative

Chang'e 6 landed within the colossal South Pole-Aitken basin, which is about 1,550 miles ( 2,500 km ) wide and 5 miles ( 8 km ) deep.

It's the solar system’s largest impact structure: a bowl-shaped feature formed when an asteroid collides with a body, causing an enormous explosion.

Scientists expect the samples to deliver key geologic knowledge about the Moon and improve their understanding of Earth 's early history.

Scientists will curate and maintain these samples in laboratories to keep them pristine.

China ’s future lunar exploration plans include the Chang'e 7 and 8 missions, planned for 2026 and 2028 .

NASA cannot directly share the samples they curate with Chinese researchers because of the Wolf Amendment .
