China’s stricken moon rover 'wakes up' after lunar night

Image
TOPICS science and technology scientific exploration space programme China’s Yutu, or Jade Rabbit, lunar rover is functioning again after shutting down for a 14-day lunar night, officials said on Thursday. “Yutu has come back to life,” Pei Zhaoyu, a spokesman for China’s lunar exploration programme, told state media. The rover’s “normal signal reception function” was restored and scientists were working to identify the cause of a mechanical problem reported on January 25, when the Jade Rabbit entered its “sleep” mode for the freezing lunar night, the official Xinhua news agency quoted Mr. Pei as saying. “Yutu went into sleep [mode] under an abnormal status,” Mr. Pei said. “The rover stands a chance of being saved now that it is still alive.” Space officials said earlier that the unspecified problem with the solar-powered rover was due to a “complicated lunar surface environment,” but they gave no further explanations.

The small storie about The Magic Of Mushkil Gusha

Image
Once in the royal city of Isfahan, there was an old woodcutter who lived alone with his young daughter. Every day, the woodcutter went out to the desert to gather camel-thorn bushes, then sold them in the marketplace as firewood . In this way, he earned barely enough for the two of them. One morning, the woodcutter's daughter said, Father, we always have enough to eat. But just once, it would be nice to have something special. Do you think you could buy us some date cakes? I think I could do that, my dear, said the woodcutter. I'll just gather some extra wood today. So the woodcutter walked farther that day to gather more thorn bushes. But he took longer than he meant to. By the time he got back with the wood, darkness had fallen. It was too late to go to the marketplace. What's more, when he reached his house, he found that his daughter had already bolted the front door and gone to bed. Knock as he would, there was no answer . So he had to sleep outside on ...

William lyrics

Four in the morning the sidewalk's asleep Dogs on the porch and spiders on the leaf Shipwrecked by night, sailing through days Nobody noticed the slipping away Connecting the dots with thorns in his side Boarded up the windows with pain and with pride The music box broken that once was his soul It's sad little song spinning out of control Then came the storm that washed the roads out Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south Second line drums marched into the sea While the clouds overhead cried mutiny They parted for Cathy and her bitter news As her words failed, the sky grew dim Recalled how close to that exit I've been Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why Well, the news about William The lifeline retreats, the desire for the breeze The thorns in his side Songwriters JOEY BURNS, JOHN BURNS, JOHN CONVERTINO Read more: Calexico - The News About William Lyrics | MetroLyrics
