For the first time in human history, a Chinese probe landed on the far side of the Moon.

China's Chang'e-4 space probe made a soft landing on the far side of the moon on January 3. This was the first such case in history - before that, all aircraft landed only on the visible side of the Earth's satellite.

The tasks of the mission include photographing the surface of the Moon, collecting soil, as well as conducting a biological experiment to create a closed ecosystem - for this, there is a container with silkworm larvae and plants on board the device.
