China officially donated a lunar sample collected by the Chang'e-6 mission to the UN

China: Far-Side Moon-Dust Sample Donated to UN in Vienna! (15.9.2026)

China’s handover of the lunar sample collected by Chang’e-6 to the United Nations is a concrete action to put into practice the four major global initiatives proposed by Xi, fully implement the new development philosophy featuring innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared growth, uphold true multilateralism, safeguard the authority and role of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space as the main platform for global space governance, and advance the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Shan said.

China: PRC Develops Independent “Lunar Surface Map” for Future Missions! (7.8.2026)

A Chinese research team has completed an updated geologic map of the entire moon featuring a scale of 1:5 million, the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (IGCAGS), said on Thursday.

Representing a significant scientific iteration from the 2024 version, this map effectively rewrites the moon’s geologic history based on the latest research findings. “The lunar geologic history has indeed been rewritten — more precisely, refined and systematized,” said Yang Zhiming, director of the IGCAGS.

Specifically, a primary achievement of this update is the recalibration of the moon’s ancient geologic eras. The new map systematically updates the age boundaries of the moon’s three ancient geologic periods, namely the Aitkenian, Nectarian and Imbrian periods, drawing on recent advances in international chronology.

Does the football-field-sized Kamo'oalewa hold a shocking secret about the moon?

China: Tianwen-2 Reaches Within 20-Kilometres & Photographs Quasi-Moon “Kamo’oalewa”! (9.7.2026)

This is also what makes the above photograph truly valuable and remarkable. It transformed a celestial body, previously only present in orbital calculations and distant (small) telescopic spots, for the first time into an object with a real shape, scale, and surface.

The Earth did not suddenly have a “new” real moon – but it does have a curious small rock beside it that has accompanied it in a tracking dance for nearly a century, and may continue to accompany the Earth for many more centuries to come.

Sometimes, human understanding creates all kinds of mysteries about the universe. This may not be a second moon – but it could be a long-lost fragment of the actual moon left to accompany the Earth – albeit at a distance.

Moon Rock Made of Wood!

Basque Country: Scientists Baffled – Human Ballpoints on Mars? (18.4.2026)

This alteration creates a crust that complicates the determination of the original mineralogical composition of the meteorite. Removing this outer layer is essential, but as this study highlights, it is not always a straightforward process. The team used Raman spectroscopy, a technique commonly employed to study the chemical composition of objects, to identify various contaminants. Among these were copper compounds, synthetic organic molecules used in inks for ballpoint pens and gel pens, and blue polyester, likely from textiles. These contaminants raise a crucial question: how much of the Martian rock’s natural composition is truly represented in these samples? The presence of such human-made materials suggests that, despite rigorous efforts to prevent contamination, these meteorites are far from untouched by Earthly influence.

Socialist China Will Soon Land Cosmonauts on the Moon!

China: CPC Will Soon Land Cosmonauts on the Moon! (28.2.2028)

When China successfully landed a probe on the dark-side of the Moon during early 2019 (during Trump’s first term) – Trump ordered that billions of dollars be diverted to the Israeli and Indian space projects – tasking these anti-China entities with the task of also landing probes on the Moon (designed to give the false impression that the capitalist world can equal the Socialist world in scientific endeavour). Not only was US money supplied – but also US technological advice. These projects were rushed – and given how dangerous and unpredictable space travel is – there can be no short-cuts. There must be a steady and continuous (material) scientific advance toward the desired goal. The Soviets abandoned their Moon-shot because the danger to the cosmonauts was too high. Will, in 2019, both the Israeli and Indian probes crashed on impact – destroying all the equipment and completely failing in their Trump-inspired anti-China mission (at that time the head of Huawai was being falsely held for Trump by the Canadian government).

Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev was excluded from the Crew-12 crew!

Russia: Hero Cosmonaut “Excluded” from Elon Musk Folly! (3.12.2025)

Telegram channel about cosmonautics “Yura, I’m sorry!” writes that Artemiev, who was training at the SpaceX base in Hawthorne, California, was suspended last week. The cosmonaut allegedly photographed SpaceX engines and other internal materials of SpaceX on his phone, after which he took the materials from the base.

54-year-old Oleg Artemyev, according to data from the website of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, made three flights into space and spent a total of 560 days there. Since 2019, he has been a deputy of the Moscow City Duma, a member of United Russia.
