Researchers with South China Agricultural University carry seedlings that have grown in labs from rice seeds brought back by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft to transplant them to test fields in Zengcheng, Guangdong Province, yesterday. The rice seeds traveled more than 760,000 kilometers to the moon last November and returned to Earth on Dec. 17, after 23 days of flight aboard China’s Chang’e 5 lunar probe. It marked the first time Chinese researchers conducted mutation breeding experiments in outer space.Xinhua
