Japan's Hayabusa probe landed safely in the Australian outback with a cargo of asteroid sample.
This is our first subsurface asteroid sample and may reveal things about the origins of planets or even of life. The capsule has now been shipped to Japan where it can be opened in clean room conditions.
Meanwhile, the Chang'e ascender safely reached orbit with samples from the lunar surface...the first since the Apollo program.
We have boxes to open and I, for one, can't wait to find out what might be inside.
