Three Chinese astronauts aboard the China Space Station are making waves in zero gravity—literally! The Shenzhou-18 crew, led by Ye Guangfu and joined by Li Cong and Li Guangsu, has been conducting groundbreaking experiments with a surprising cast: zebrafish 🐟 and hornwort 🌱. Since their arrival on April 26, the team has turned the station into a cosmic lab to study how space environments affect living organisms.
The astronauts brought four zebrafish into orbit, observing their wild behavior in microgravity—think rotational flips, circular swims, and even upside-down acrobatics! 🌌 Scientists hope these findings, along with water samples and fish eggs returning to Earth, will unlock secrets about vertebrate adaptation in space. This research could pave the way for sustainable ecosystems on future lunar bases or Mars missions!
‘It’s like watching a sci-fi movie, but it’s real science,’ said a mission spokesperson. The crew’s six-month mission continues to blend high-tech innovation with quirky cosmic discoveries. Stay tuned for more updates from the final frontier! 👩🚀👨🚀
