In the first picture, the amazing view of sky filled up with the numerous stars is the typical scene of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in general, and more specifically the view of Ali Prefecture in the southwestern Tibet, the home of Mount Kangrinboqe (Mt. Kailash) and Mapam Yumco (Manasarovar Lake).

Does anyone know if FM-90/HQ-7B is still being produced, or was replaced or is in the process of being replaced?

Flying object hovering over Beijing possibly a rocket

Netizens from Beijing spot a weird luminous flying object early Monday morning that was likely a rocket being launched, said experts. Photo: huanqiu.com
A weird luminous flying object spotted by Beijing residents early Monday morning was likely a rocket streaking across the night sky, which also left a contrail that was still visible at dawn, experts said.
Multiple videos taken by netizens in Beijing and posted on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter-like social media platform early Monday morning, show a large glowing object with a fiery tail ripping through the darkness.
Netizens then began to report an unnatural-looking cloud in the sky, very likely the vapor trail left by the unidentified flying object.
Photos show the long linear cloud, which was luminous during sunrise, had zigzagged like a colored ribbon in the sky.
Beijing Meteorological Service was quick to respond, saying on its Sina Weibo account at 7:00 am that the cloud was likely the contrail left by an aircraft.
Aerospace Knowledge magazine reported later in the morning in its WeChat public account that the trail could be that of a rocket.
What people saw in the sky is likely the result of sunlight reflecting off aluminum oxide particles in the sky, which are produced during combustion of solid rocket fuel, Aerospace Knowledge reported, citing experts.
These particles usually meet little resistance in the upper atmosphere so they can stretch for many kilometers, the report said, noting that winds will blow the contrail into twisted shapes.
A similar rocket trail was seen in Beijing on December 7, when China launched six satellites on a Kuaizhou-1A rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in North China's Shanxi Province.
A planned rocket launch for early Monday morning had not been announced as of press time.
The sighting coincided with a scheduled military mission in the Bohai Straits and North Yellow Sea near Northeast China's Liaoning Province, netizens noticed.
According to a navigation notice released by the Maritime Safety Administration of China, a designated sea area was restricted due to military exercises from December 20 to 27.
The notice did not elaborate on the substance of the exercises.
China reportedly conducted a submarine-launched ballistic missile test in June, which also caused a similar phenomenon that was witnessed by many.
