Abstract

The team behind a pioneering biological experiment sent to the lunar far side recently released an image showing two green leaves grown on the moon. The experiment began shortly after China's Chang'e-4 spacecraft made the first ever landing on the far side of the moon, on 3 January this year. Plants have been grown in low Earth orbit on the International Space Station, but this experiment marked the first time a seed sprouted on the moon.
