The moon

China's Chang'e 6 mission has successfully returned samples from the moon's far side to Earth, notching another spaceflight first for the nation.

China's Chang'e 6 probe is scheduled to return to Earth on June 25, and scientists are starting to get excited about what its far side moon samples can tell us.

A major lunar standstill is about to occur. The phenomenon happens every 18.6 years when the moon rises and sets at its most extreme points on the horizon, while also climbing to its highest and lowest point in the sky.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken its first look at China's Chang'e 6 spacecraft on the moon's far side.

Soil sourced directly from the lunar surface could help astronauts establish and sustain a permanent presence on the moon.

China has revealed details about a miniature rover tucked away on the country's pioneering Chang'e 6 lunar far side sample-return mission.

A European experiment aboard China's Chang'e 6 mission has recorded certain charged particles previously undetected on the moon's surface.

Chang'e 6 will deliver unprecedented cargo to Earth.

The Chinese flag that the Chang'e 6 mission brought to the moon's far side is made primarily of basalt, a volcanic rock that's plentiful on the lunar surface.

The two spacecraft of the Chang'e 6 mission met and docked in orbit over the moon on Thursday (June 6) to transfer samples the moon's far side. They'll now be returned to Earth.
