Yutu II found a mysterious "hut" on the moon! After reaching the new dormancy point, Yutu II took a circular shot of the surrounding skyline, and enlarged the circular lens to enjoy it slowly. Yutu II actually found a mysterious "hut" on the moon!

Yutu II found a mysterious "hut" on the moon! 1 A few days ago, Yutu 2 on the back of the moon was on fire again!

A paper published in the journal Nature reveals the major exploration achievement of Yutu-2: a granular "alien substance" was found in a small crater, and it was analyzed on the spot with various scientific instruments, and it was determined that the alien substance was a carbon ball.

During the Apollo program in the middle of last century, although American astronauts collected carbonaceous chondrites on the moon, they did not conduct on-site analysis. Now, they have explored the back of the moon for nearly three years, and made on-the-spot analysis of carbon globules, which once again created the first time for mankind.

Now, Jade Rabbit 2, which continues to drive, is on fire again! Because it has a mysterious "hut"!

Recently, Yutu No.2 successfully climbed a steep slope of more than 3 degrees, and its vision became much broader. Looking around, I suddenly found a "hut" in the distance directly ahead, and the distance between the hut and Yutu 2 was about 80 meters.

The new discovery of Jade Rabbit 2 may make your forehead hot. Is there really a mythical "Guanghan Palace" on the moon? What age is it now, and how many people will believe those deceptive fairy tales?

Then the "hut" on the back of the moon is not a real house, so what is it? Is it an object discarded by human beings or a grotesque Lunatone?

Seeing the "hut" in the photo, the expert who specializes in manipulating Jade Rabbit 2 is also very curious. I hope Yutu 2 can enlarge the "hut" as soon as possible, witness its true content, and carefully study what it is to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

After Yutu II climbed the steep slope, it marked the successful completion of the mission in the 36th month, and then entered the 36th month. So Yutu No.2 had to wait for the arrival of the 37th month before heading for the "hut". The road ahead is rugged, so it is urgent to ensure the safe driving of Yutu II. ..

Although the "hut" is only a short distance of 80 meters, the driving distance of Yutu-2 during each month and Sunday is generally between 15 and 30 meters. It may take several months to get to the "hut", and it will take three months at the earliest. Now it's 202 1 12, and it seems that it will be until February 2022.

In the aerospace field, China's Yutu II was once rated as one of the most advanced lunar rover in the world. It has won many awards, and its technology is not lost to the United States at all. Now it has been running for almost three years with a design life of three months, and it can still run normally, which shows that China has mastered many excellent aerospace technologies.

If we want to compare the environment, then the environment of the moon is much worse than that of Mars.

First, the moon is in a vacuum environment and there is no atmosphere. Mars has an atmosphere, and the density of the atmosphere is 1% of that of the earth. Second, the temperature difference between the moon and the earth is extremely great, with high temperature 120℃ during the day and low temperature-180℃ at night, while the temperature of Mars hovers between -7℃ and -80℃.

Therefore, in every lunar day, Yutu II will be tested by extreme low temperature and extreme high temperature, which once again proves China's excellent space technology.

At the same time, it also raises a question for us. Since the moon environment is so extreme that all life can't survive here, why should human beings try to explore?

Because the exploration of the moon by China probe shows that the moon is rich in resources.

The lunar soil contains many metallic elements, such as titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), thorium (Th), gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper, baht, antimony, aluminum, molybdenum, cadmium, manganese, tin and rhenium. There are also a lot of feldspar minerals, olivine and pyroxene minerals.

Helium -3, in particular, is the green energy that people dream of. It can be used for nuclear fusion, but it will not bring radiation pollution.

There is not much helium -3 on the earth, the whole earth is only 500 kilograms, and it is distributed on the vast surface of the earth. Even if humans want helium -3, it is difficult to obtain it, but the small satellite has 654.38+0 million tons of helium -3.

Do you know how much energy helium -3 contains? The total energy produced by 100 ton helium -3 is enough for the total energy demand of all mankind in one year.

So in the near future, the moon will be the first stop of human "space mining", and we will get a lot of resources from the moon to meet human needs.

The moon is not only rich in resources, but also has many important uses.

First, the back of the moon is suitable for building a high-precision observatory, which is no longer affected by chaotic signals and the atmosphere, and its accuracy far exceeds that of the Earth Observatory. Second, the gravity of the moon is only 1 of that of the earth, and launching probes from the moon can save a lot of fuel.

This is the significance of human exploration of the moon. Counting the time, Yutu II has entered the 37th month day mission period, and it is estimated that it is heading for the mysterious "hut" at this moment, and it is as curious about the "hut" as we are.

Yutu II found a mysterious "hut" on the moon! 2 65438+On February 3, the official account of "Our Space" WeChat released "Difficult Climbing! Yutu welcomes the "Driving Diary of Yutu No.2" (28), with the largest slope on the back of the moon. It is introduced that Yutu No.2 lunar rover started its 36th exploration trip on the afternoon of 202 1 10 as scheduled. (Note: One day and night on the moon is about 28 days on the earth, and one day in a month is about 14 days. ).

During this journey, Yutu II sailed out of the complex terrain surrounded by impact craters and climbed the largest steep slope in history. After reaching the new dormancy point, Yutu II took a circular shot of the surrounding skyline, and enlarged the circular shot, and found an abrupt cubic object at the northern skyline, just like a "mysterious hut".

After measurement, the "mysterious cabin" is about 80 meters away from its current position. Yutu II will go to the "mysterious cabin" to find out. It is estimated that it will take two to three months to reach the destination.

Some netizens in Weibo said that "the brain is wide open": "There are three big characters written on it-Guanghan Palace." The discovery of the "mysterious cabin" by Yutu II also surprised foreign netizens. Not only has it attracted many people's interest on Twitter, but some "mysterious lovers' communities" also expect it to be a "special" wonderful object.

According to the official account of "Our Space" WeChat, after the start of the 36th month, the first challenge that Yutu II ushered in was the complex terrain: the large impact craters on the east side were densely covered, forming a C-shaped encirclement; There is a group ridge with a uplift slope as high as 10 in the northwest, and there are two impact craters, which firmly imprison Yutu II in the "crack".

Although there seems to be hope for a breakthrough along the east-west direction (shown by the red dotted line), Yutu 2 is also slightly worried about the subsequent route. From the contour map, although the contour line in the northeast direction is sparse, it is vaguely closed at the end of the field of vision, and it may still be a steep terrain. In the end, Yutu II chose a "climbing challenge" and stopped at noon.

At this time, the noon perception image on the moon shows that Yutu II has reached the position surrounded by slopes on three sides. No matter which direction you move, you are likely to encounter risks such as the car body sliding down the slope, being intercepted by two large impact craters, the terrain behind the slope ridge being temporarily unclear, and the steep slope being unable to complete dormancy.

Through the comparative analysis of the lunar situation map, it is found that there is still an unknown area among the three impact craters in the north. After climbing northward, Yutu 2 finally broke through the tight encirclement and reached the dormancy point.

After moonfall, Yutu II looked up and looked around for the first time, and took a circular shot of the surrounding skyline, and enlarged the circular shot pictures, and slowly appreciated them one by one. Suddenly, an abrupt cube on the north side of the skyline caused Yutu II. Note that this object pierced the winding skyline, like a "mysterious hut" appearing out of thin air, next to a huge "juvenile" impact crater. Could it be that the home was built after the forced landing of aliens? Or the pioneer spacecraft that explored the moon before?

Yutu II told the scientists on the earth about this discovery and couldn't wait to go there to find out. After measurement, the "mysterious hut" on the horizon is about 80 meters away from its present position, and it is estimated that it will take two to three months to reach its destination.

For the discovery of Yutu II, Weibo netizens "opened their minds wide", and many people associated it with Guanghan Palace, a palace on the moon in ancient China myths and legends.

Not only domestic netizens are curious, but this incident has also aroused the interest of foreign netizens. An astronomical information account named "Space Latest" on Twitter posted a tweet introducing the news that Yutu II found a "mysterious cabin" on the moon. By the evening of February 6th, 65438+ Beijing time, the tweet had been forwarded more than 2800 times, cited 2500 times and liked by 16000.

So, what exactly is a "mysterious cabin"? We won't know until the future Yutu II sends us the latest diary.

Yutu II found a mysterious "hut" on the moon! Since the birth of mankind, the back of the moon has always been a mystery to us, because the moon is tidal locking by the gravity of the earth. This means that the rotation speed of the moon is equal to the revolution speed around the earth, so that one side of the moon always faces the earth. The hidden side is what we call the back of the moon.

However, on the moon 380,000 kilometers away, Chang 'e-4 lander and Yutu-2 lunar rover are exploring the back of the moon. They are the only detectors that have successfully landed on the back of the moon so far, and they are also the only detectors that still operate on the entire surface of the moon.

All along, we often hear all kinds of rumors about the back of the moon, including alien bases on the back of the moon, spaceships with aliens, and bombers missing from the US military at the end of World War II. There are also rumors that the interior of the moon is hollow and there is a huge city inhabited by aliens.

These rumors based on misinformation are constantly being interpreted and even published in regular publications, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Now, however, Yutu II did find alien matter on the back of the moon, but it was not a product of civilization.

According to the paper recently published by the team of Chinese Academy of Sciences in the international professional academic journal Nature-Astronomy, the spectral detection and analysis of a 2-meter-sized fresh impact crater accidentally encountered by Yutu-2 lunar rover show that it is the first time to identify the carbonaceous chondrite impactor residue with an age of about1100,000 years on the lunar surface in situ.

The research shows that carbonaceous chondrites should be very abundant in lunar craters. On the moon covered with craters, carbonaceous chondrites are still the main source of water, only in the form of ice. But what is even more surprising is that Yutu II recently discovered a mysterious cube "hut" on the back of the moon.

Above: "Mysterious House" on the horizon.

Since the solar-powered Yutu-2 and Chang 'e-4 landers landed on the back of the moon for the first time on October 3, 20 19/kloc-0, Yutu-2 has been roaming in the 186 km wide Von Kaman crater. However, on the afternoon of 202 1, 10/October 29th, Yutu No.2 discovered some interesting things during its 36th day of exploration.

On this day, Yutu II woke up from hibernation, and after a difficult climb, it finally reached the hibernation point safely. Then the drivers breathed a sigh of relief and manipulated Yutu II to circle the surrounding skyline, which was the first time Yutu II looked up and looked around after landing.

Just as the drivers were immersed in the dark and deep sky and winding mountains, they couldn't help admiring the wonder of the universe. A strange object on the northern horizon immediately attracted their attention. In the very blurred image, this object pierced the winding skyline, like a strange cube, out of place with the surrounding background, like a "mysterious hut" that appeared out of thin air, which attracted them a surprise.

Scientists can't wait to enlarge the image, look at the "mysterious hut" in the distant sky, and begin to imagine: Could it be the home built after the forced landing of aliens? Or the pioneer spacecraft that explored the moon before? Then inform the driver: "This thing is so interesting! Let's go and find out! "

After measurement, the "mysterious cabin" is about 80 meters away from its current position. Although it is only 80 meters, it is actually estimated that it will take two to three months to reach the destination. Then why does Yutu II run so slowly?

First of all, after a difficult climb, Yutu II has reached the dormancy point, ending the 36th day of exploration. This is to avoid exposure to the sun for a long time, which leads to the equipment being too hot and must sleep. A day on the moon is about 28 days on the earth, and day and night are close to 14 days. Therefore, Yutu -2 will continue its adventure on the day of the 37th month after ten days.

In addition, the design speed of Yutu II is 200 meters per hour, equivalent to 5.6 cm/s, which is faster than ants crawling on the ground. This is because the moon has low gravity and no atmosphere, which makes the moon dust on its surface easy to be thrown up, thus threatening the operation of equipment. For example, in the past, Yutu turned off because the moon dust entered the motor, and Yutu II could not walk too fast. But even at a speed of 200 meters per hour, two to three months is not 80 meters, right?

In fact, the actual moving speed of Yutu II is far less than the design speed, and it often takes an hour to walk to 10 meter. Moreover, the surface of the moon is uneven and covered with gravel, and the terrain is extremely unfriendly. In addition, only a slope of about 7 will make Yutu 2 face the risk of slipping, so be extra careful when driving and plan the action path in advance. So during the day every month, Yutu II can only walk about twenty or thirty meters. Since the landing of 20 19, the accumulated total mileage is less than 1 km.

However, it is worth noting that the design life of Yutu II is only three months, but it has been running well so far, and it has been driving slowly on the back of the moon for nearly three years. Therefore, although Yutu II walked slowly, it has been working hard and has sent back a lot of detection data to help us understand the mysterious back of the moon.

Next, we wait quietly. In a few months, perhaps in February 2022, we will know the true content of the mysterious cube "hut". Maybe you will find something magical! So relax, let's guess what a "cabin" is first!
