A team from Chongqing University in China developed a sealed biosphere habitat stocked with seeds, fruit fly eggs and yeast that it hoped would create a mini-ecosystem. So far, the cotton seeds are the only ones to sprout. The experiment also contains potato and oilseed rape seeds.
China's state-run Xinhua News announced the sprouts Tuesday and posted a series of progress images covering the course of nine days and showing the seedlings reaching up inside their habitat. Chang'e 4 touched down in early January.
