China became the second country in history to place its flag on the Moon, more than 50 years after the United States “planted” the star.
China’s Chang’e 5 robotic spacecraft left the Moon on Thursday after a two-day stay on its surface and collecting rock samples, having previously placed the country’s flag on the Moon.

According to the China National Space Agency (CNSA), which released the photo taken by Chang’e 5, the cloth flag has been specially processed to withstand the extreme temperatures on the Moon. Of course, due to the lack of air on the moon, the flag does not wave, but is fixed and immobile. If the lunar samples from Chang’e 5 successfully reach Earth, China will become the third country in the world to have brought in stones and dust from the surface of the Moon. The capsule with the valuable sample is expected to land in the Inner Mongolia region of northern China.
