China’s Yutu 2 rover is still operating after four years on the moon and has returned new images from the lunar far side.
Yutu 2 is part of the historic Chang’e 4 mission, which made the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon in January 2019. The rover woke up this past Jan. 15 to start its 51st lunar day, according to an update(opens in new tab) from the Chinese lunar exploration project’s (CLEP) social media account. (One lunar day lasts about 29.5 Earth days.)
