Introduction to the lecture:

The Chang'e-4 has been successfully launched. The latest test photos released by the bio-science test load it carries show that the cotton seeds carried on it have grown sprouts, which add the first “green” color to the surface of the moon. Do you have a lot of questions about the moon? For example, how is the back of the moon different from the front? What useful information do we need to get from the back of the moon? From human beings’ stepping into space to exploiting the moon, what is the probability of human beings landing on the moon? If we did land on the moon, where would humans live? In this lecture, the guest lecturer Zheng Yongchun will declassify the story behind the moon for you. Welcome to join us!
