China is poised to launch its first artificial moon after its artificial Sun achieved temperatures five times higher than that of the actual Sun. An "artificial moon" research facility has been developed by scientists. The facility will enable them in employing magnetism to conduct low-gravity situations.

Artificial moon research facility

In the year 2022, the artificial moon research facility will be officially launched. It will use intense magnetic fields within a 2-foot-diameter vacuum chamber to make gravity vanish. Scientists were motivated to create this study facility after witnessing a prior experiment in which magnets were used to levitate a frog.

How will this facility imitate the surface of the moon?

To mimic the lunar surface, the research facility will be filled with rocks and dust.

Features of the research facility

It is the world's premier research facility of its kind. It can keep low-gravity settings going for as long as researchers wish...
