TL;DR Summary

China's Shenzhou 16 mission has captured the first images of the complete Tiangong Space Station as they departed on their way back to Earth. The high-definition photos show the full structure of the space station, which consists of three units: Tianhe, Wentian, and Mengtian. The crew of Shenzhou 16 conducted various scientific experiments during their stay, including a spacewalk and growing vegetables. China's space agency plans to expand the space station with three additional modules and send a Hubble-class space telescope called "Xuntian" to orbit alongside the station for repairs and upgrades.
