China’s Chang’e-4 probe took panoramic photos on the far side of the moon.
The images were sent back via the relay satellite Queqiao, which was operating around the second Lagrangian point of the earth-moon system, about 455,000 km from the earth, where it can see both the earth and the moon’s far side.
Scientists have made a preliminary analysis on the terrains and landform surrounding the probe according to the panoramic pictures.
