China's Chang'e-5 mission has returned to Earth with a bunch of rocks and "soil" it picked up off the Moon. A capsule carrying the materials landed in Inner Mongolia on Thursday. The mission spent only two days on the Moon's surface gathering samples. It's more than 40 years since the American Apollo and Soviet Luna missions brought samples from moon. The new specimens would provide fresh insight on the geology and early history of Earth's satellite.
