Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🥮🥮🥮! Enjoy!
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a harvest festival celebrated in Chinese culture. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full Moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar. On this day, the Chinese believe that the Moon is at its fullest and brightest, coinciding with the time of harvest in the middle of autumn.
The Shenzhou-20 crew has stayed in orbit for more than 150 days, carrying out a large number of scientific experiments and technological tests.
The Shenzhou-20 astronauts entered the space station on April 25, 2025, for a mission expected to last around 6 months.
