China has made history by landing a rover on the far side of the moon.
According to CNN, the milestone a huge one for China as it attempts to position itself as a leading space power, was announced by Chinese state media last week.
The lunar craft lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province on December 8, entering the moon’s orbit four days later, according to state media.
It is hoped the lander will conduct a number of tasks, including conducting the first lunar low-frequency radio astronomy experiment, observe whether plants will grow in the low-gravity environment, and explore whether there is water or other resources at the poles. Another function of the mission is to study the interaction between solar winds and the moon surface using a new rover.
In another recent discovery in space travel, researchers have found a new object that is said to be another planet.
Sarah Lewin, Space.com associate editor wrote that, “A newly discovered object is the most-distant body ever observed in the solar system — and the first object ever found orbiting at more than 100 times the distance from Earth to the sun.”
The discovery team nicknamed the object as “Farout.” Preliminary research suggests that it is a round, pinkish dwarf planet. The same team spotted a faraway dwarf planet nicknamed “The Goblin” in October. Farout was first spotted using the Subaru 8-meter telescope in Hawaii in November, and then a follow-up measurement in early December by the Magellan telescope in Chile confirmed its existence. According to those observations, the object is likely about 500 km across, which would mean it’s spherical and a dwarf planet. Its pinkish color suggests it’s an ice-rich body, according to the statement.”
Fake, the Earth is flat, we live under a dome we cannot leave this planet all rockets are fired tho try and shatter the dome, they are trying to hide the existance of God.
Fake, like all so called space pictures, we live under a dome we cannot leave this planet, the earth is flat, they are lying to us to hide the existance of God.
It’s all well and good to explore, spend billions of dollars. But why can’t they EXPLORE tHE DARK SIDE OF THEIR COUNTRY?. And then fix it!!.
Have no problem with China exploring space, engaged in exploration. Our concern, a serious one is that, China, like us, must first clean up its own house/home before we promote exploration in discovering the outside world. Clean up your house (China) first. There is no free speech in China and accordingly are unable to critic their Chinese government much less to be open to talk out on Radio, TV and other media outlets. I would not want to reside in wicked punishable country like China. It is a damn shame. Its ok, and we welcome Chinese efforts to offer technical support and other financial development etc to poor countries, but you must set the example like the USA, Great Britain and other decent democratic countries of the world to be decent and respect your people. hey need that freedom and human rights to speak, worship, engaged in critical discussion with freedom to express themselves on radio, newspaper and social media. Wake up China. Someone send this to China please to read.
Viewsexpressed shut your stupid noise China is a world power pretty soon China will be No1 last week they went one better than the Americans on the dark side of the moon. DNO please let workers supporters know the word Rover does not mean a dog or a jeep 😂🤣
