China’s Chang’e-6 spacecraft, which launched on May 3, successfully completed its mission on the dark side of the Moon and returned to Earth. After landing on the Moon on June 2, Chang’e-6 collected soil and rock samples and returned today, landing in Inner Mongolia. The samples will be analyzed in Beijing, potentially providing insights into the Moon’s and Earth’s formation. Chinese President Xi Jinping praised the mission’s success, emphasizing the importance of continued space exploration. This mission follows China’s 2019 Chang’e-4 mission, which sent the Yütu-2 rover to the Moon’s dark side. China aims to send a crewed mission to the Moon by 2030.

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey due to severe flash flooding, while parts of New York City, including the subway system, were submerged by heavy rainfall.
Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville.
