Stargazer, doctor of astrophysics, promoter of astronomy and vlogger Liu Boyang captured the development of the space station assembly with a series of ground-based photography. For that, he developed an optical tracking program himself. With that, Liu was able to capture clear, close-up images of China's space station. He has made over 50 trips to carefully selected locations in more than 10 cities across China, largely at his own expense. He waits patiently for the few minutes when the space station zips across the night sky to get the best possible shot.

Based on this finding, the scientists predict that there is a large amount of water resources available for utilization at the high latitude region of the Moon.
