All the Moon landings, from Luna to Apollo to Chang'e

Details: Earlier this year, Israel's Beresheet spacecraft attempted a lunar landing, but an issue with the main engine caused it to fail.

• In January, China's increasingly formidable space program became the first to land a probe on the far side of the Moon.

The timeline beneath the Moon shows when each landing occurred, highlighting the 37-year gap between the last Soviet mission in 1976 and the first Chinese one in 2013.
