Heads up, space fans! On Friday, the Chinese mainland unveiled Shenzhou 13, the first 8K movie shot entirely in space. Produced by China Media Group (CMG), the film is set to premiere nationwide on September 5 – and trust us, it’s more than just pretty visuals. 🚀🎬
The movie retraces the six-month orbital adventure of astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu aboard the Chinese space station. Shot with 8K ultra-high-definition cameras, it packs mind-blowing Earth views, space station selfies, and real-life crew routines – think weightless tea moments and science experiments up close. ☕🔬
Launched on October 16, 2021, the Shenzhou-13 mission set a new record for the longest continuous spaceflight by Chinese astronauts: 183 days circling our planet. This project doesn’t just flex tech muscles; it humanizes life in orbit with behind-the-scenes feels we rarely get to see. 🌍✨
More than a tech showcase, Shenzhou 13 gives us a front-row seat to life in space. It’s where cutting-edge cameras meet astronaut stories – a perfect combo for anyone curious about what happens when you leave gravity behind. 🌌🎥
