A researcher shows a lunar sample retrieved by the Chang'e-6 mission at the lunar sample laboratory in the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 24, 2024.
Research on the lunar samples collected by the Chang'e-6 mission is still underway, according to Li Chunlai, a researcher with the National Astronomical Observatories, CAS, and deputy chief designer of the Chang'e-6 mission.
