The lunar mission marks a historic achievement in space exploration, potentially unlocking new insights about the Moon's formation.

Chang'e-6 successfully lifted off from the Moon's far side carrying rock and soil samples.
The mission faced significant challenges due to the rugged terrain and communication hurdles.
China displayed its national flag on the Moon's far side for the first time.
The samples are expected to land in Inner Mongolia around June 25 for analysis.
