Move over, Instagram influencers—China’s Tianwen-2 probe just dropped the ultimate cosmic flex! 🚀 The spacecraft, currently cruising through deep space, captured a jaw-dropping selfie with Earth using its onboard camera, and the result is straight out of a sci-fi blockbuster. 🌌
The image, released by the China National Space Administration (CNSA), shows the probe’s robotic arm holding a camera that snapped the Five-Starred Red Flag and its return capsule against Earth’s iconic blue marble glow. Talk about #SpaceGoals! 📸
Right now, Tianwen-2 is about 43 million kilometers from home—roughly 110 times the Earth-Moon distance—and closing in on asteroid 2016HO3 for a planned sample-return mission. Scientists say this interplanetary photoshoot isn’t just for clout; it’s testing tech for future deep-space exploration. 💡
Fun fact: If this were a road trip, you’d need 48 years of nonstop driving at 100 km/h to cover that distance. 🚗💨 But in space? Just another day for China’s rising space program. 👩🚀✨
