The Manas spacecraft is on a six-year journey to reach a metal-rich asteroid by the same name. In his journey well, the investigation looked back to the planet of his house and captured a rare view of the Earth, with its moon, the darkness of space was surrounded by the dark zero of space as a just spot.
NASA’s Manas Mission Launched on 13 October, 2023, and the main asteroid belt is assigned to detect a distant target, which is believed to have exposed a protoplanet. Before it reaches its destination, the imaging team behind the mission is testing the ability of the spacecraft, which has the ability to catch the objects shining by the light reflected from the Sun. The targeted objects of these tests are terriblely familiar – our very planets and moon – but they were taken from an unfamiliar view.
In July, scientists of the imaging team took many, long -term exposure photos of the Earth and Moon. The pair is seen between a dark background with many stars in the nakshatra Aries. The Earth appears as a bright dot, just above which the moon is sitting. The image was taken from about 180 million miles (290 km) away and provides a rare look on our planet as seen from a deep location.
Brings photos Famous Pale Blue Dot In the mind, an image of the Earth captured by the Vyzer 1 spacecraft in 1990. The image was taken from a distance of 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers), in which the Earth appeared as the only spots between the cosmic background.
Although it was not captured from the same distance, the recent image of the psyche is a similar reminder of the location and shape of the earth in the solar system. The spacecraft is equipped with a pair of cameras, designed to collect pictures in the wavelength of light that are both visible and invisible to the human eye, to help determine the structure of metal-rich asteroid.
The Manas needs to travel to the main asteroid belt and travel around 2.2 billion miles to enter the orbit of asteroid in the late July 2029. Scientists believe that the space rock may be an exposed core of a planet, or an early planet construction block, which was stripped of its outer layer during the early formation of the solar system.
