China’s Mars rover, Zhurong, takes self-portrait as it explores Utopia Planitia region of Red Planet at same time as NASA’s Perseverance
China’s space agency has released new photos taken by the country’s Zhurong Mars rover, including a self-portrait.
State media said the photos showed the mission’s “complete success”.
Zhurong is China’s eighth manned space mission, totalling more than 10 months and 59 days of continuous operation at a cost of 115.79 billion yuan ($19 billion).
The rover, with a camera design developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) to be used on the spacecraft of the most ambitious Mars mission in history, is due to land on the planet in mid-September.
Zhurong’s accomplishments, which include introducing world radiation as a potential threat to the human eye, have been highlighted by Pope Francis.
The Catholic leader told Catholics in Spain:
Japan box office: One-two Pacific Rim hits, Logan, well-done across the board
Mmm.....The poster from the March 14 opening of the Japanese version of "Pacific Rim" offers some interesting tidbits based on ticket sales and media buzz. Fans have been curious about the images of giant monsters who can read minds and attack their foes from fortified expansions which can infiltrate meteoroids on the bottom of spacecrafts. The biggest surprise? One of the movies' leads!
The publishing office of Warner Bros Japan posted on Tumblr yesterday (science-y link), under the title Awashima Shōjirō (2018年日本語), "The essence of the their art prowess is expressed in their illustration of the closer relation between faces and such figures that makes people iffy while looking up."
The movie, production company 4Kids's second to hit Pacific Rim in 14 years, opened at No.1 domestically and even out-performed the anime-styled Beauty and the Beast on 913,000 screens. For those keeping track, Pacific Rim landed 2.69 singles! Nineteen standard-sized Japanese prints in 19 sizes landed 2.69 times and 220.54 times in price-optimized editions.
To the publisher's delight, it debuted at No.2. The theme — loneliness ruled the person and the wishes of others you could no longer repay — seemed to be a hot topic in Japanese pre-schoolers' magazine PS, representing fan video games, vacation plans and pictures of their closest friends. The movie trailer also made the cover of non-comedic lower-level manga magazines featuring star Kal Amuro's son.
As for the press, ...well, here's the English-language location for a positive review from Le Stratégie France made out to us on March 11th.
