The dark side of the moon

A new chapter has opened in mankind's exploration of the moon, as the Chang'e 4 lunar probe landed on the moon's far side on Jan 3, 2019, considered a major breakthrough in space exploration.

Until now moon missions focused on its near rather than far side, because it is significantly more difficult to land on the far side.

What will the landing mean for scientific research: new approaches in obtaining helium-3 energy or unique lunar regolith compared to the near side?

We may see in 2019.
