China has come up with a rather novel idea to study the Moon. The China National Space Administration(CNSA) is working on a Moon-orbiting telescope, which will "open a new window" into the universe and help study the cosmic body like never before. This plan, dubbed "Discovering Sky at the Longest Wavelength," or Hongmeng Project, could launch in 2026 if everything goes according to plan.
