Greetings, Space Pioneers. [h3]A new year has come! New challenges arise and new hopes fill the hearts of all our brave explorers. [/h3] And yes, it is February 1st, 2022 today. This means the beginning of the New Lunar Year, the year of the Tiger in terms of the Chinese lunar year! As Marshal McLuhan said, there are no passengers on spaceship Earth - we are all crew. Bearing in mind these words, let us wish you all the best on our great blue marble of a planet where we all dream of our next big space adventures. [h3]Chinese New Year Greetings[/h3] To celebrate the occasion, the Chinese National Space Administration welcomed the new year with truly breathtaking views of Earth taken by the cameras positioned outside China's Tiangong space station’s new Tianhe station module. [h3]Watch it here: [/h3] [previewyoutube=-Zk9N1ViGjc;full][/previewyoutube] All the cameras were set up by astronauts during their spacewalks so that we could see the two full circles of the station taken around the Earth. The footage showcases various landmarks of our planet, such as clouds, oceans, and landforms, as well as Tianhe’s docking hub hatch for extravehicular activities, the station’s solar arrays, and the docked Shenzhou 13 crew spacecraft. With this space piece of trivia, we want to once again wish you all the best of luck during this new, Tiger Lunar Year! Klabater and LAB132 team
