History is streaming live from orbit! 🌌 The fourth 'Tiangong Class' lecture kicked off today aboard the China Space Station, featuring astronauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu, and Gui Haichao of the Shenzhou-16 crew. This isn't your average science class – think zero-gravity experiments, cosmic Q&A sessions, and mind-blowing demos beamed directly to Earth!
🧪 The trio showcased fluid dynamics in space (spoiler: water balls float like magic!), explained life-support systems, and even cracked jokes about 'astronaut humor' during live interactions with students across China. 'Learning without gravity changes everything,' said Zhu Yangzhu while demonstrating momentum principles with a spinning tool.
📡 Part of China's mission to spark STEM passion among youth, these sessions have reached over 60 million students since 2021. Today's broadcast included new augmented reality visuals – imagine TikTok filters, but for quantum physics! 🔭 The crew also teased future collaborations with international space agencies, hinting at a globally connected classroom among the stars.
Next stop: The moon? 🌕 With China's lunar base plans advancing, today's students might be tomorrow's interplanetary teachers. Stay tuned for highlights on our socials!
