China's Chang'e-5 spacecraft successfully landed on the near side of the moon late Tuesday and sent back images, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced. At 11:11 pm, the spacecraft landed at the preselected landing area near 51.8 degrees west longitude and 43.1 degrees north latitude, said CNSA. On Nov 24, China launched the Chang'e-5 spacecraft, comprising an orbiter, a lander, an ascender and a returner. 
国家航天局宣布，12月1日23时11分，嫦娥五号探测器成功着陆在月球正面西经51.8度、北纬43.1度附近的预选着陆区，并传回着陆影像图。嫦娥五号探测器于11月24日成功发射，包括轨道器、着陆器、上升器和返回器。

At 10:57 pm Tuesday, the lander-ascender combination of Chang'e-5, from about 15 km above the lunar surface, started a powered descent with a variable thrust engine ignited. Its relative vertical velocity to the moon was lowered from 1.7 km per second to zero. The probe was adjusted and approached the lunar surface during the descent. After automatically detecting and identifying obstacles, the probe selected the site and touched down on the north of the Mons Rumker in Oceanus Procellarum, also known as the Ocean of Storms, on the near side of the moon. 
12月1日22时57分，嫦娥五号探测器着陆器和上升器组合体从距离月面15公里处开始实施动力下降，变推力发动机开机，逐步将探测器相对月球纵向速度从约1.7公里/秒降为零。期间，探测器进行快速姿态调整，逐渐接近月表。此后进行障碍自动检测，选定着陆点后，平稳着陆在位于月球正面风暴洋的吕姆克山脉以北地区。

The lander-ascender combination of China's Chang'e 5 robotic lunar probe has finished gathering subsurface samples and packed them in a vacuum container, and is continuing collecting surface substances, according to CNSA. The drilling and packing process of rocks and soil concluded at 4:53 am on Wednesday. 
国家航天局表示，12月2日4时53分，探月工程嫦娥五号着陆器和上升器组合体完成了月球钻取采样及封装。目前，着陆器和上升器组合体正按计划进行表取采样。

Lost treasure returns home
流失文物马首铜像回家

A bronze horse head sculpture, a treasure from China's Old Summer Palace that went missing after an Anglo-French allied forces' looting 160 years ago, returned to its original palace home Tuesday. It is the first time that a lost important cultural relic from the Old Summer Palace, or Yuanmingyuan, has been returned to and housed at its original location after being repatriated from overseas. Twelve animal head sculptures once formed a zodiac water clock in Beijing's Yuanmingyuan, built by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

The originals were looted from the royal garden by Anglo-French allied forces in 1860 during the Second Opium War (1856-1860). The horse head, designed by Italian artist Giuseppe Castiglione and made by royal craftsmen, is an artistic blend of East and West. Macao billionaire Stanley Ho bought the bronze horse head and decided to donate it to the National Cultural Heritage Administration and return it to its original home.
