China’s Chang’e-4 lunar probe has carried out the first in the history of humankind biological experiment on the surface of the Earth satellite, the Central Television of China informs.
The Chang’e-4 sent photos of cottonseeds, in which first shoots appeared. This is the first plant germinated on the surface of the Moon in harsh conditions of low gravity and strong radiation.
In addition to cotton, the samples of rapeseed, potato and fruit fly larvae (Drosophila) as well as the yeast fungi were delivered to the moon.
Scientists continue to monitor the status of biological samples.
