PLANTS GROW ON MOON

China showed years ago that plants are able to grow on the moon's far side. They successfully germinated cotton plants in a sealed container on the moon.

When: 2019
Mission: Chang'e-4

The lander remains on the moon even now, but the cotton died when night came, after it brought freezing temperatures.

Na bijna 6 jaar rijdt Yutu 2 nog steeds op de Maan rond

De Chang’e maanrover is sinds begin 2019 in bedrijf maar China geeft laatste jaren nog maar mondjesmaat informatie vrij over hun tweede Jade Konijn op de Maan.

The Far Side of the Moon is very different from the Near Side. We definitely have not explored the whole moon.

"The farside of the moon is a lunar layer cake. New data from China’s Chang’e-4 lander and Yutu-2 rover reveal alternating layers of coarse rock and fine soil down to a depth of 40 meters, suggesting a history of violent impacts, scientists report February 26 in Science Advances."

"A little more than one year ago, China's Chang'e 4 spacecraft landed on the far side of the Moon. In doing so, it became the first-ever vehicle to make a soft landing on the side of the Moon facing away from Earth.

To mark the one-year anniversary, China released a batch of scientific data and images captured by five scientific payloads aboard the 1.2-ton spacecraft and its small Yutu 2 rover."

Very nice. China's Chang’e-4 mission may have discovered material from the moon's mantle. A sample return mission in the future might settle the findings.

Chers confrères, on ne parle pas de la « face sombre de la Lune » (comme j'ai pu entendre ce matin). 🌒

Cette face n'est jamais visible depuis la Terre, mais elle est tout de même éclairée par le Soleil. #Change4
