A Chinese space capsule bringing back the first moon rocks in more than four decades has begun its return to Earth.

The mission landed on the moon earlier this month and collected about 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of samples. The return capsule is expected to land in northern China in the Inner Mongolia region after a three-day journey.
