The 28 Lunar Mansions, or more precisely lodgings (Chinese: 二十 八 宿; pinyin: èrshí bā xiù) are the Chinese and East Asian form of the lunar stations. They can be considered as the equivalent to the Western zodiac, although the 28 stations reflect the movement of the Moon through a sidereal month rather than the Sun in a tropical year; (cf. Solar term).

The lunar landing attempt comes after the Houston space company's 14-foot-tall Nova-C the lander, nicknamed Odysseus for the hero of Greek myth, made it to the moon in February 2024 marking ...
The International Lunar Network or ILN was a proposed network of lunar surface stations to be built by the United States and the other space-faring countries in the 2010s. Each of these stations would act as a node in a lunar geophysical network. Ultimately this network could comprise 8-10 or more nodes operating simultaneously.
The full moon is about 226,000 miles from Earth and appears brighter and bigger than the standard full moon, according to NASA. How and when to see the partial lunar eclipse in Dallas-Fort Worth
Based on high-resolution photographs taken by the Lunar Orbiter spacecraft, and photos and data taken by the uncrewed Surveyor landers, this list was narrowed down to five sites located near the lunar equator. They ranged between 45 degrees east and west, and 5 degrees north and south of the center of the Moon's facing side.
The next station to have contact was the Canary Islands. Cooper's flight was delayed for 24 hours due to a malfunction in the Bermuda FPS-16 radar's antenna data system. The radar set failed a CADFISS test, where all the stations in the network had to transmit information to NASA to ensure accurate information could be obtained.
