During a ceremony held in Vienna, China officially gifted a portion of lunar material retrieved by the Chang'e-6 mission to the United Nations. This historic collection, totaling over 1,900 grams, originated from the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the moon's far side, marking the first time such samples have been obtained by any nation. Shan Zhongde, representing the China National Space Administration, emphasized the importance of international cooperation in space exploration during the event. The donation ceremony, themed around the concept of a shared future for humanity in space, highlights China's commitment to scientific collaboration and the global pursuit of understanding the universe. This gesture underscores the significance of the Chang'e-6 mission's successful return to Earth with unique geological specimens.
