China is the first country to set foot on the moon’s far side and releases previously unreleased videos

When it comes to space exploration, the Chinese space agency has made History and continues to innovate. They have not only become the first country in human History to land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon, but they have also grown the first plants on the moon’s surface, paving the way for the settlement of Earth’s natural satellite.

Chinese scientists began documenting the surroundings surrounding their robotic explorers after ensuring that the lander, rover, and the satellite circling the moon, which serves as an intermediary between the lander, rover, and scientists on Earth, are in good working order. After landing inside the Von Karman Crater in the Aitken basin, our solar system’s largest impact crater, the Change 4 mission deployed its lunar rover Yutu-2 onto the Moon’s surface.

 

What were the outcomes? Stunning photographs and movies of a completely alien landscape that have never been seen by human eyes before.

The Aitken Basin, where both the lander and the rover are stationed, is eight miles deep and has a diameter of roughly 1,600 miles.

Chinese scientists will conduct mineral and radiation testing during the flight. Scientists will also have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to analyze minerals on the moon’s far side.

Here are some videos:

S29. The Enigmatic Divide: Exploring Why the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans Don’t Mix. S29

The world’s oceaпs, vast aпd mysterioυs, hold maпy secrets withiп their depths. Amoпg their eпigmatic woпders is the pecυliar pheпomeпoп of the Atlaпtic aпd Pacific Oceaпs steadfastly maiпtaiпiпg their boυпdaries, resistiпg the υrge to iпtermiпgle oп a graпd scale. Iп this article, we delve iпto the captivatiпg reasoпs behiпd the distiпctiveпess of these two mighty bodies of water. Oпe crυcial aspect that keeps the Atlaпtic aпd Pacific Oceaпs apart lies iп the disparity of their water deпsities. Seawater deпsity is iпflυeпced by variables like temperatυre, saliпity, aпd pressυre. The Atlaпtic Oceaп boasts higher saliпity levels, primarily dυe to its sigпificaпt freshwater iпflυx from rivers. Coпversely, the Pacific Oceaп hosts larger areas of lower saliпity waters, coυrtesy of factors like raiпfall aпd meltiпg ice.

A Mysterious Object 570 billion times brighter than the sun has been found by astronomers

Image
There is a massive ball of hot gas billions of light-years distant that is brighter than hundreds of billions of suns. [ This is an updated version of the previous article. ] It’s difficult to envision anything so bright. So, what exactly is it? Astronomers aren’t sure, but they do have a few theories. They believe it is a magnetar, a kind of supernova that is so strong that it pushes the energy boundaries of physics, or the most powerful supernova ever witnessed as of today. Astronomers are struggling to find a way to characterize this object since it is so bright . “If it’s a magnetar, it’s as if nature took everything we know about magnetars and turned it up to 11,” said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of Astronomy at Ohio State University and the team’s co-principal investigator. The All-Sky Automated Survey of Supernovae (ASAS-SN or “assassin”), a compact network of telescopes meant to locate luminous things in the cosmo...

Myanmar violence and sea disputes to dominate ASEAN talks joined by US, Russian and Chinese envoys

Myanmar’s prolonged civil strife, tensions in the disputed South China Sea and concern over arms buildups in the region are expected to dominate the agenda when Southeast Asia’s top diplomats gather for talks this week in Indonesia JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Myanmar’s prolonged civil strife, tensions in the disputed South China Sea and concern over arms buildups in the region are expected to dominate the agenda when Southeast Asia’s top diplomats gather for talks this week in Indonesia. Russia's year-old invasion of Ukraine and the U.S.-China rivalry will also be under the spotlight as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang participate as dialogue partners of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations foreign ministers in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. North Korea has yet to say whether its foreign minister, Choe Son Hui, will attend the ASEAN Regional Forum, an annual regional security meeting. It's ...
