On January 3, China’s Chang’e 4 lander made history by completing the first successful landing on the far side of the moon. Now, just two weeks later, the mission has already provided another significant achievement.
The Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA) released images on Tuesday showing how cotton seeds taken to the lunar surface by the lander have sprouted. This represents the first time that humans have deliberately grown living material on the moon, and indeed, any other planetary body.
