China has detected something strange beneath the Moon’s surface — and it could change how we understand the future of lunar exploration.

In this documentary, we break down China’s latest Chang’e-6 discovery, where lunar radar revealed a sharp hidden structure beneath the Moon’s far side. After returning the first-ever samples from the lunar far side, Chang’e-6 used high-resolution Lunar Regolith Penetrating Radar to map what lies below the Apollo basin landing site — uncovering a strange two-layer underground structure: fine weathered lunar soil above a deeper layer of coarse, unweathered impact debris.

But this discovery is only one part of a much bigger story.

Across Chang’e-3, Chang’e-4, Chang’e-5, and Chang’e-6, China has been quietly building one of the most detailed in-situ radar maps of the Moon’s shallow interior ever created. These missions have revealed buried lava flows, ancient impact layers, possible subsurface cavities, and even a candidate lava tube on the lunar far side.

So what exactly is buried beneath the Moon? And why does it matter?

The answer could shape the future of Moon bases, lunar construction, water ice exploration, and China’s plan to land astronauts on the Moon before 2030. With Chang’e-7 targeting the lunar south pole and Chang’e-8 preparing for in-situ resource utilization experiments, China is not just trying to reach the Moon — it is trying to understand what lies beneath it before building there.

This is the underground Moon race.

The Moon is not empty underneath. Beneath the dust are layers of ancient ejecta, buried lava flows, possible tunnels, and geological clues that may decide where humans build the first permanent lunar bases.

Watch until the end to see why this strange discovery beneath the Moon could become one of the most important steps toward humanity’s next chapter in space.
