American company Intuitive Machines has successfully landed its Odysseus robot near the lunar south pole. The US space agency Nasa had purchased room on it for six scientific instruments. It鈥檚 also carrying a box containing 125 small stainless steel balls or mini moons by the American artist Jeff Koons to be left there. There鈥檚 now hundreds of tonnes of human objects on the Moon - from old space boots and moon buggies to family photos and a javelin. There are also bags of vomit, urine and poo. It鈥檚 becoming a lunar junkyard.

Professor Jill Stuart from the London School of Economics explains the laws governing the moon and 大象传媒 journalist Daniel Dadzie tells us what鈥檚 up there and what people might take in future.

Also, two years after Russia鈥檚 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, what鈥檚 life like as a student there? We hear from Vitalii Pashchenko, 21, Arina Stolbtsova, 21 and Yehor Olshevskiy, 17.
