Chang'e 4 Team Just Released Beyond Amazing New Pics of Our Moon's Far Side
It's been just over a year since China's Chang'e 4 lander and Yutu 2 rover landed on the far side of the Moon. All this time, they've been studying the Von Kármán crater and sharing the results through a solitary link - the Queqiao relay satellit
The world’s largest radio telescope is now fully operational.
Located and built in China, the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) was making discoveries even before hitting its full stride.
It’s also the world’s most sensitive telescope and some believe could even lead to the detection of extraterrestrial life.
