Chinese museum exhibits gun camera used by Japanese aggressors during invasion of China

STORY: Chinese museum exhibits gun camera used by Japanese aggressors during invasion of China DATELINE: Sept. 18, 2022 LENGTH: 0:00:59 LOCATION: HARBIN, China CATEGORY: OTHERS SHOTLIST: 1. various of the gun camera STORYLINE: To commemorate the 91st anniversary of the September 18 Incident, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army Museum in northeast China's Harbin exhibited a rare gun camera used by the Japanese aggressors during the invasion of China. The 97-centimeter-long gun camera has a barrel with a diameter of 8.3 centimeters. It's believed that the device was used by Japanese air forces in shooting training and combat activities. The camera shutter was connected with the trigger to record the shootings. The gun camera has empirical value for the study of the history of Japan's invasion of China. On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in northeast China destroyed a section of the railway near Liutiaohu and then falsely accused the Chinese military of causing the explosion.

NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

★Handout photo dated September 4, 2014 of NASA engineers inspect a new piece of technology developed for the James Webb Space Telescope, the micro shutter array, with a low light test at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Developed at Goddard to allow Webb's Near Infrared Spectrograph to obtain spectra of more than 100 objects in the universe simultaneously, the micro shutter array uses thousands of tiny shutters to capture spectra from selected objects of interest in space and block out light from all other sources. Last summer, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) set an October 31, 2021, launch date for the $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, but it's having to delay the science observatory's trip into space once again. Thankfully, the launch might take place just a few weeks later, in November or early December. A rescheduled date is unlikely to be con
