The image in a camera obscura is flipped upside down because light travels in straight lines from its source. The earliest mention of the principles behind the camera obscura belongs to Mozi (c. 468-376 BC), a Chinese philosopher. 2) TOP 500 It is a project that ranks and gives detailed accounts of the 500 most powerful computer systems in the world.

The technology is more efficient compared with conventional coal combustion, and is environment friendly because it generates few emissions and residues (残渣). 4) Jade Rabbit lunar rover It is an unmanned lunar rover launched in December 2013 as part of the Chang’e-3 mission to the Moon. The mission marks the first soft landing (软着陆) on the Moon since 1976 and it now makes China the third country to accomplish this technological feat after the US and Russia. 3.
