In a stunning advancement for space exploration, China's Tianwen 2 probe has officially unfurled its remarkable 'solar wing'.

Launched in May, this groundbreaking mission is on a trajectory aimed at investigating the mysterious quasi-moon 469219 Kamoʻoalewa and the intriguing comet 311P.

Last Friday, the China National Space Administration shared an exciting update on the mission, revealing that just eight days into its journey, the probe was already an impressive three million kilometers from Earth.

The highlight of the update was the successful deployment of the solar wing—a sophisticated circular array of flexible solar panels designed to harness solar energy. Accompanying the announcement was an eye-catching image captured by one of the probe's onboard cameras, marking the first visual from the mission!

As anticipation builds for what lies ahead, space enthusiasts worldwide hope for many more stunning revelations from this ambitious celestial expedition.
