    When you look up into the night sky, you can see the moon. But do you know that you're only seeing one side of the moon? The other side, also known as the far side of the moon, has long been a secret to us. But now, we have a chance to see what's on the far side.

    On January 3rd, China's Chang'e 4 probe(探测器) landed on the far side of the moon. It is the first probe in history to land there.

    Chang'e 4 probe has already done a lot of things on the moon. One of its jobs is to grow plants. Chang'e 4 probe took six living things to the moon. Such as cotton, potatoes and fruit flies(果蝇). The cotton has already started growing. This is the first time humans have grown plants on the moon.

    Chang'e 4 probe also took a lot of pictures of the moon's far side. With these pictures, scientists will learn more about the moon.

(1)、According to the passage, we can see both sides of the moon.
(2)、Growing plants on the moon is Chang'e 4 probe's only task.
(3)、Chang'e 4 probe is the first probe to land on the far side of the moon.
(4)、Seven living things were brought to the moon by Chang'e 4 probe.
(5)、The cotton has already begun growing on the moon.

It has been nearly 5 years since Chang'e-4, a Chinese spacecraft, made the first soft landing on the far side of the moon at 10:26 am on 3rd January 2019. It is the first time that a spacecraft has made it. The far side is the part of the moon that always faces away from the earth.

After it landed on the ground, the spacecraft took the first photo of the"dark side"of the moon, and sent it back to the earth through the Queqiao relay satellite(中继卫星).The scientists launched the satellite into space in May, 2018.

"What we know about the far side of the moon is from orbiters (轨道飞行器), from Russia, the US, European countries, China and India,"Andrew Coates, a professor of Physics at University College London, told a reporter. China sent Chang'e-4 into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in December,2018. Sending a spacecraft to the far side of the moon isn't easy, because the far side is covered in craters(火山口). Some of its mountains are higher than Qomolangma, the highest mountain on the earth.

What's more, we can't see the far side because it takes the moon about 28 days to move around the earth with the same side always facing our planet. Direct communication with the earth is impossible on the far side of the moon, so communications must go through a communication satellite. That was why scientists launched the Queqiao relay satellite.

On May 3, a Long March-5 rocket took off from Hainan. It was carrying the Chang'e-6 spacecraft (航天器). After about 37 minutes, the spacecraft separated from the rocket and began its 53-day journey. 

The Chang'e-6 spacecraft has a special job. It's going to collect rocks and soil from the far side of the moon and bring them back to Earth. "No other country has done this before," said Wu Weiren, chief designer of China's moon exploration program. The moon rotates (旋转) at the same speed as it moves around Earth. As a result, we always see the "near side" of the moon from Earth. "We still know very little about the moon's far side. If we make it, we'll give scientists new, first-hand information about the moon."

The Chang'e-6 spacecraft has a robotic arm. After it lands on the moon, the arm will start working. It will collect rocks and soil from the moon's surface (表面) and put them in a special box. The spacecraft will then bring them back to Earth. How much will Chang'e-6 be able to collect? Scientists don't know for sure. Their goal is about two kilograms.

The spacecraft will land in an impact crater (撞击坑) called the SPA Basin. It is 2,500 kilometers wide. That's about the distance between Beijing and Hainan. The SPA Basin has a history of over four billion years. It is the oldest and largest impact crater on the moon. Scientists believe that studying it may give us some of the earliest information about the moon.
