7月23日,我國發射首次火星任務「天問一號」,標誌著我國邁出了對太陽系行星探索的第一步。7月27日,「天問一號」通過光學導航傳感器為地球和月球拍攝了一張"合影"。
In the black-and-white picture, the Earth and the moon, one large and one small, were both crescent-shaped, watching each other in the vast universe. According to the CNSA, the probe has escaped the Earth's gravity and entered the Earth-Mars transfer orbit, traveling more than 1.5 million km away from the Earth.
在這張黑白照片裡,地球和月球一大一小,都呈新月形,兩顆星球在浩瀚的宇宙中遙相對望。國家航天局稱,「天問一號」已脫離地球引力,進入地火轉移軌道,飛離地球超過150萬公裡。
