BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): Lunar samples collected by China's Chang'e 5 robotic probe will soon start their journey toward Earth, according to the China National Space Administration.

The rocks and dust from the moon have been delivered from Chang'e 5's ascender to their final host-the probe's reentry capsule, which will later bring them to Earth.
