For the first time ever, plants from the Earth are being grown on the Moon. The China
National Space Administration showed photos of some plants growing. The administration says the cotton plants are among several plants that are growing well. Other plants growing on the moon are potatoes, rock cress and rapeseed. These plants are part of a project on the far side of the moon. The project is called “a moon surface”. Project leader Liu Hanlong says the cotton seeds were the first to be grown. He said these plants were chosen because they were small, strong and could grow in difficult conditions. Learning about these plants growing in a low- gravity environment would help scientists to grow plants on a space base in the future.

The world’s longest sea bridge has opened. It links Hong Kong and Macau to mainland
China. The bridge is called “ the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge” and is 55 kilometres long. The bridge took over a decade to construct. There is also a 6.7-kilometre tunnel under water in the middle of the bridge. This is to allow ships to sail through the river. The bridge will greatly cut the time it takes to travel from mainland China to Hong Kong and Macau. The journey time to Macau has been cut from over three hours to just thirty minutes. Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the bridge in 2018. He hoped the new crossing would help to connect 68 million people in 11 different cities.
