An image that holds its breath: the earth and the moon in a scene

It was the first of its kind and came after months of attempts

Although humans can not look directly at the far side of the moon, whether from observation points or astronomical observatories – even giants – to Earth, an amateur team can take a picture to breathtaking that can be the best for the Earth. Exceptionally, using the Chinese Longjiang-2 satellite, which currently revolves around the Moon.

The team of radio amateurs – according to the British newspaper "Mirror" – downloaded the photo using the Doingilo radio observatory in the Netherlands and the Chinese satellite that captured the magnificent stage of the world.

According to Sky News Arabia, the photo was taken on February 3, the last effort and attempt at cooperation with the Harbin University of Technology in China, which launched two small satellites last spring with the Chinese Kuqiao satellite.

While one of the two small satellites was lost, the Chinese satellite continued to operate, but it temporarily stopped working during the landing of the Chinese probe Chang & # 39; e4 on the other side of the moon before it can be reactivated.

According to astronomer Castr Basa, on the Post Post satellite tracking site on 3 February, the first opportunity to take a photo of Earth and Moon was uploaded by the Doingloo Astronomical Observatory on 4 February.

This photo is the first of its kind to capture the moon and the earth together in one scene. She intervened after several attempts that lasted months.

The same team had already taken a picture of the Earth, but it was too far away and showed part of the moon's surface rather than the entire moon.

The satellite is equipped with a transmitter and a wireless receiver allowing communication with wireless amateurs on the ground.
