China to Draw 3D Moon Topography

During an academic seminar held in Guiyang, chief scientist of China's moon exploration project Ouyang Zhiyuan, who is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that China planned to draw a complete moon image in three-dimension technologies.

Ouyang said that currently, there was no country in the world had ever managed to draw such a picture. The moon topography will help China to conduct more studies of the moon's surface feature, its geological formation, the type of craters on the moon's surface and moon's evolution history.

He said the moon was an important basis to study the evolution history of the Earth. As the moon's geological history "stopped" some 3.1 billion years ago, it can help scientists to study the Earth's evolution status in early times.
