The UK has received its first lunar samples in over five decades, marking a major milestone in space exploration. These samples, collected by China’s Chang'e-5 mission in December 2020, were transported to Milton Keynes for analysis. Professor Mahesh Anand from The Open University is leading the study, focusing on the Moon's geological history and the origins of essential elements like hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen.
