Some of the first samples of the moon to be brought back to Earth in more than 40 years are set to go on public display in Beijing.
A small portion of the lunar regolith, or soil, collected by China's recent Chang'e 5 robotic mission will open on exhibit at the National Museum of China in March, the institution announced on Tuesday (Feb. 22).
