China has a telescope placed on the Moon since 2013

China responded to the Chang'e 3 ship to the Moon in December 2013. At that time we knew that the spacecraft was carrying a self-propelled robot named Yutu (Yutu), this self-propelled robot frequently had problems, and officially stopped operating in March 2015. However, the Pearl Rabbit robot is not the only thing this country brings to the Moon, recently, the Chinese Space Agency said that Change'3 also brought a telescope, and this glasses worked well from there. up to now (more than 18 months)

China has the first telescope on the Moon

The glass is designed to capture ultraviolet light, and since the Moon has no atmosphere, ultraviolet light from the planets / universes will be easier to observe from the Moon than from Earth.

This is the image of Chang'e 3, a 15cm telescope is placed inside this ship.

Since the Moon has a lot of charged dust, the electronics on it are easily damaged, so the glass only works for a certain number of hours, the rest is automatically stored inside Chang'e 3 .

This is a pinwheel that is captured by this glass.

This is the Pinwheel galaxy image captured by NASA.

Jing Wang works at the National Observation Station, saying that in the past 18 months, the glass has been operating for 2000 hours, observing 40 stars. That is, the working life of this glass is much longer than originally planned, the glass management team is waiting to see if the task will continue at the end of the year.
