"satellite"

This satellite is the communications satellite LES-1. In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States launched several such communications satellites, from LES-1 to LES-9, which were relatively small, weighing only about 32 kg, each with a horn antenna and an x-band transponder, as well as a 237 MHz signal transmitter, which were powered mainly by solar panels

In a good night sky, we can always see a sky full of stars and it seems to us that the whole universe is in full view. In fact, the stars we see in the night sky are only a tiny part of the milky way galaxy, which is just one of the trillions of galaxies that exist in the observable universe.

The moon is the closest planet to the earth and the brightest and most easily observed object in the earth's night sky. Because the moon is always facing the same way towards the earth, for us humans living on earth, we can only ever observe one fixed side of the moon.
