China's Returned Lunar Capsule

Here is China’s Chang’e-6 re-entry capsule, containing about 2 kg of lunar regolith. Landed in inner Mongolia. Just surprised how burned up/beat up it is....



PS: Until today I thought "regolith" referred specifically to lunar material, but learned it is any loose material above a bedrock.
