Wake wazibuza ukuthi inyanga inuka kanjani?
Esihlokweni sikamagazini i-Nature, “umqophi wephunga elimnandi” ongumFulentshi kanye nomeluleki wesayensi osethathe umhlalaphansi uMichael Moiseev uthi indalo yakhe yakamuva yagqugquzelwa incazelo yendawo yenyanga yomunye wabantu bokuqala abahamba enyangeni eminyakeni engaphezu kwengxenye yekhulu edlule.
“Ngasusela iphunga engalikhipha - njengentuthu kagwayi - encazelweni kaBuzz Aldrin yalokho akuzwa ngesikhathi ekhumula umakalabha wakhe kumojula yenyanga eNyangeni ngo-1969," kubhala uMoiseev.
Umeluleki usebenza ngephunga elimnandi lemnyuziyamu ye-Space City e-Toulouse, e-France, eseduze nalapho ehlala futhi esebenza khona.
Encwadini yakhe ka-2009 ethi Magnificent Desolation, u-Buzz Aldrin, owayeyindoda yesibili ukubeka unyawo endaweni yenyanga, ukhumbule ukuthi ngesikhathi yena nosonkanyezi uNeil Armstrong owayephayona naye bebuyela endaweni yabo futhi bebona ukuthi bagcwele uthuli lwenyanga, babingelelwa. "iphunga lensimbi elibukhali, into efana nentuthu noma iphunga elisemkhathini ngemva kokucisha komlilo".
Engxoxweni abe nayo ngo-2015 ne-Space.com, u-Aldrin wachaza kabanzi ngencazelo yakhe yephunga lenyanga, walichaza njengephunga “njengamalahle ashisiwe noma njengomlotha osendaweni yomlilo, ikakhulukazi uma ufafaza amanzi amancane kuwo.”
U-Aldrin akuyena yedwa u-Apollo usomkhathi obeke amazwana ngephunga elifana nentuthu le-lunar regolith, kubhala hicomm.bg.
“Engingakusho nje ukuthi umbono wawo wonke umuntu ngokushesha kwaba ukuthi iphunga kwakuyintuthu, hhayi ukuthi 'laliyinsimbi' noma 'libabayo,'” u-Harrison “Jack” Schmidt, usomkhathi ovela ku-” Apollo 17,” obambe iqhaza kwenye ohambweni lokugcina lokuya enyangeni ngo-1972. “Iphunga lentuthu kagwayi cishe ligxile kakhulu ezinkumbulo zethu kunamanye amaphunga anjalo.”
Ngaphandle uma ubuchwepheshe bokundiza emkhathini bushibhile futhi bufinyeleleke kakhudlwana emashumini ambalwa eminyaka azayo, iningi lethu ngeke libe nalo ithuba lokuzihogela ngokwethu inyanga. Kodwa ngenhlanhla, singakwazi ukuzwa iphunga lokulingisa e-Toulouse, eFrance, nanoma yikuphi lapho “abaqophi bephunga elimnandi” abanekhono belingisa iphunga lothuli lwenyanga.
