China’s Yutu-2 lunar rover sends image from ‘dark side’ of the moon

Posted in space travel

China’s lunar rover has beamed back a new image of the ‘dark side’ of the moon showing the winding path it has taken over the surface.

The Yutu-2 rover arrived on the moon three years ago on Change’e 4 — the first spacecraft to ever land on the far side of the moon.

Chang’e 4 is visible in the back right of the panorama image, along with the twisting tracks in the moon dust left by the rover.
