Samples collected from the far side of the moon by Chang'e-6 may help explain the early evolution of the solar system through studying the South-Pole Aitken Basin impact crater.
Previous missions like Apollo collected samples from the near side, leading to the need for samples from the far side to understand if the South-Pole Aitken Basin was also formed due to heavy bombardment, anchoring events in solar system history.
