Bangkok was buzzing this weekend as a rare piece of the moon touched down in the city! 🌕✨ Crowds flocked to catch a glimpse of the lunar sample from China's Chang'e-5 mission at the Sci Power for Future Thailand Fair.
Encased in a mesmerizing rotating crystal sphere, the 75-milligram sample named \"The Moon Shines Bright On Me\" took visitors on a microscopic journey to the moon's surface. The sight of the extraterrestrial material up close left everyone starstruck! 🚀
\"The lunar sample's unusual color intrigued my curiosity,\" said seven-year-old Tannya Neesanant, eyes wide with wonder. \"It looked more like sand than soil!\" 👧🌠
This out-of-this-world exhibit was a collaboration between the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT) and the China National Space Administration (CNSA). It showcased a portion of the samples collected by the Chang'e-5 lunar probe, one of the most complex and groundbreaking missions in China's space exploration history. 🛰️🌌
The event wrapped up on Sunday, but the excitement it sparked is sure to inspire a new generation of space enthusiasts. Who knows—maybe the next big astronaut is among those who marveled at this tiny piece of the moon! 🌟👩🚀
