China has landed a spacecraft on the far side of the Moon in a world first, according to state-run media. The unmanned Chang'e-4 lander and rover successfully arrived in the Von Karman crater, which is within the South Pole-Aitken Basin, at 10:26 a.m. Beijing time on Thursday, according to Chinese broadcaster CGTN.

After it touched down, the spacecraft took the first photo of what is widely known as the “dark side” of the Moon, and sent it back to Earth via the Queqiao (Magpie Bridge) satellite. The satellite which launched last May is orbiting the second Lagrangian point of the Earth-Moon system.
