China started the year off strong by landing a lunar probe on the Moon’s surface and deploying a tiny rover to do a bit of exploring. The country’s space agency is the first to land such machines on the far side of the Moon that we Earthlings never get to see with our own eyes.
NASA recently published images captured from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showing the lander as a tiny pale dot against a sea of gray. It was a cool shot, but now we have an even better one, and it shows both the lander and rover doing their thing on the dusty surface of the Moon.
