AmiMoJo writes: Detailed high resolution images from the recent Chinese moon mission have been released. Links to the original Chinese sites hosting the images are available, but Emily Lakdawalla of the Planetary Society has kindly organized them in English. Images show the lander, the rover and the surface of the earth. An interactive map is also available, built from data collected by the mission.

Sure, we've taken a limited amount of material entirely out of Earth's biosphere. But I understand that lunar landers are typically pretty tough and tasteless, no matter how you prepare them.

The Moon is made of cheese. That is the cheese peeking through the layer of dust.
