Lunar samples retrieved by China's Chang'e 5 robotic mission went on display in Macao on Tuesday, marking the first time any lunar samples have been brought to the city for public exhibition.
The samples, contained in a specially built glass case and closely guarded, can be viewed by members of the public at the Macao Science Center until next Saturday.
The appearance of the lunar materials is the major feature of the Science and Technology Serial Activities in Macao, launched on Tuesday to popularize knowledge about China's space, marine and polar explorations.

The 12-day activities include the Second Macao Space Development Forum, a themed exhibition at the Macao Science Center, several space industry seminars and lectures at local schools.
